Juvenile Cooper's Hawk (2 Viewers)

Took this photo in the woods near my home. I'm pretty sure it's a Cooper's Hawk and not a Broad-wing Hawk. What I noticed about it were the claws on this bird. They look deadly and judging from the red stains on its feet which is probably blood stains from a recent meal, it knows how to use them.
