Diana and I were just talking yesterday that we had not seen any raptors in our backyard lately, desptie the plethora of small birds for food. This afternoon I was sitting on the back deck with the little kitten on my tummy, and wondered why this bird did not look like a normal bluejay by the jay feeder - then realized that it was a hawk. I believe a Cooper's hawk from my research, but have sent photos to Hawkwatch to get confirmation.
I snuck into the kitchen to get my camera and then back to get these photos - he/she was not much afraid and flew around a couple of places before leaving for good.
