Cooper's Hawk (Immature)

Lake Frederick, Virginia

While working on a 1000 piece puzzle sitting close to the windows in our basement, this immature (?) sharpy flew in and perched. I quickly got my camera and snuck up close to the window.
Originally ID'ed at Sharp-shinned, but bent to the pressure and re-ID'd as Cooper's.
Managed several shots through a double-pane window before this raptor flew off. See 'previous' for a profile shot.
