There is a small opening in the middle of the back seat that lets me get into the trunk, however, and I very quietly lowered my seat, reached through and got my camera. I took the first photo through the windscreen, which turned out reasonably well. I then lowered my window and leaned out and was able to get a few photos before he (or she) flew off into the woods. I believe it&#8217;s a Cooper&#8217;s hawk (<em>Accipiter cooperii<\/em>) rather than a sharp-shinned (<em>Accipiter striatus<\/em>), based on its size. Interestingly, both species are reverse size dimorphic, that is, the females are larger than the males.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a doctor&#8217;s appointment this morning and didn&#8217;t get to work until about 11:30.
