Bípedo implume
Hi all,
A friend sent me these photos asking for help in ID. He said it was similar in size to the American Crow that snatched the hawk's prey just moments before he took the pictures. I'm not sure what to tell him-- I'm leaning towards Sharp-shinned based on "startled" face expression and size. But Cooper's is far more common, especially in spring. April, NW Baja California.
