Cooper's Hawk (Accipiter cooperii) Shot in Salem

Of course I mean I photographed the bird. Today has been a great day for Urban Birding, I have sighted Cardinals, Juncos, Finches, Sparrows, Starlings, Gulls and to top it off a Cooper's Hawk. I live a short distance from downtown, yet the variety of birds that visit my backyard is amazing. Here is the shot :) of the Cooper's Hawk, it has captured a sparrow and may be disturbing to some but it is the circle of life.
