I snapped a shot of this Cooper's Hawk in our backyard the other day. It was harassing a squirrel, which appeared to be in no danger. I suspect the hawk still hadn't quite perfected its hunting skills. The hawk would go after the squirrel somewhat hesitantly, and the squirrel would run around to the other side of the tree, and they would circle around for a few cycles, the hawk would give up and perch for a bit. This picture was taken when the hawk was perching in between bouts of squirrel chasing.

That's funny -- when I first read your title I thought it was one of those old Puritan names -- Juvenile Cooper -- like Temperance Smith or something. And his hawk.
Nice photo.

That is awesome times 10.
