This hawk sat in the tree watching my bird feeders for about 30 minutes. The hawk was anticipating being able to catch a meal, but not this day. As the hawk waited it seemed very content doing some grooming.
This hawk is likely a Cooper's Hawk but could be a Sharp-Shinned Hawk which is very similar.
