More Cooper's Hawk pics

Field marks are shown in these pics including the large head (relative to the body), long tail (clearly very long on this bird), long tarsi (bare part of legs), tail feathers longest in center then proportionally shorter as they move to outside, tail pale gray banded with broad black bands with a broad white terminal band.
Adult field marks also quite evident: dark grey crown, nape and auriculars paler grey, remainder of upper parts bluish/medium gray and underparts white with rufous barring. I believe this is a female as it has rufous auriculars. Double-click on each pic to enlarge them for close-up viewing. SeEtta
