Lucky Shot!

Went outside to do some test shots with a freshly unpacked lens
and our resident hawk was siting up in the Walnut tree.
I also figured out it is one of a pair because
it was calling and getting an answer. Mates?
Does anyone know what kind of hawk this is?

Looks like it has chosen a protected perch to rest for a spell, good one!

Very cool shot, a juvenile Accipiter, probably Cooper's Hawk. V

Terrific capture, John. This looks like a juvenile Cooper's Hawk to me.

Great sharp shot with you new lens. "V"
Perhaps a Cooper's Hawk, but I could be wrong.
