A Question for All My Birding Friends

[nekosensei]

What kind of hawk is this? Cooper's Hawk? Northern Goshawk? Other?






I took this picture last Thursday. I think he was trying to wish me a Happy New Year...


doomsey seems to be quite taken by this picture. He just asked me to send it to him so he can look at it again.





The last three pictures were taken in my backyard on Sunday, but I think it's still the same bird as before.

Man, that's a pretty raptor and you got great shots from every angle, which is extremely helpful. I am pretty sure that's a Cooper's Hawk, it's pretty much a textbook example.
