Cooper's Hawk

Cooper's Hawk -- Martin Luther King, Jr. Regional Shoreline, Oakland, CA

The shoreline is a good place to see hawks and harriers in Oakland.  It's a good place for a lot of birds, actually.  I saw a Cooper's hawk buzz a burrowing owl one morning around the time I took this photo.  I'd have hated to have seen the hawk actually snatch the owl.  I generally root for the hawks and the harriers at the shoreline, but I'd like them to leave the owls alone.
