Bear Creek Wildlife Sanctuary (8K) - 11/5/2023

The weather was much improved from last week! Today's highlights included several cooperative Meadowlarks and first-of-the-season Buffleheads. Questionable ID on the first accipiter - thoughts/comments welcome :)
Equipment used: Sony A1, Sony 600 F4 w/2x TC, Sony ECM-B1M

First bird is an adult Cooper's Hawk... easily identified by the large blocky head, and graduated tail feather length.

Thanks! You'd think after 20 years I'd have figured this out :)
