I was walking along a street and noticed some activity on a lawn across the road. This hawk had attempted to grab a black squirrel but the squirrel was having none of it and ran under some bushes. The hawk landed on a fence and looked a bit embarrassed and sat for a long time. I think it is a Coopers Hawk but I'm no expert.

Hello,
It is a beautiful hawk. I am sure the squirrel was relieved, it was able to escape. I believe you are correct on your id. Great photo. Thank you for linking up and sharing your critter post! Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Your photo of this Hawk is wonderful. Hawks are not always successful in their hunts, but their percentage is not bad. The squirrel was just lucky.
Quite a bird.
That's a great photo of the Hawk! I'm glad the squirrel escaped!
What a beautiful bird and probably waiting to see if the squirrel reappears.
Beautiful photo of the magnificent hawk ~ Wow!

We have Cooper's Hawks around here. Maybe they are everywhere. Great photo.
LOL, this sure made me laugh, "embarrassed"!
Good for the squirrel, bad for the bird.
What a beautiful hawk...I love the stripes on the tail feathers.
Wow great close up, lucky you.
What a beautiful photo. We have Coopers Hawks snacking in our garden once in a while. Last year we had one flapping its wings around on our front porch before flying off with something in its beak.
