Default Lucky shot of hawk in flight

Not sure what kind of hawk this is but I guess I was in the right place
at the right time.

Nice capture.

It is difficult to judge size, but it looks to me to me either a Cooper's
Hawk, or a Sharp-shinned Hawk.

You might give a look at Cornell's Bird site to try to identify.

On closer examination I am pretty sure that it is a Cooper’s Hawk -
Accipiter cooperii
