Cooper's Hawk

Well the birds have been wearing my feeders out with all the cold and snowy weather we have had this winter and I knew it was just a matter of time before the local predators noticed all the activity. Sorry this is not a very good shot but as with most things in nature, you just have to take what is offered. This Cooper's Hawk flew up in the oak tree above where I was refilling the feeders and stayed there long enough for me to go in the house and grab this quick shot through the window before it flew off again. Needless to say, the birds scattered for a while until the coast was clear again.
