Phil has spotted this bird on our front porch several times and was finally able to take some photos on 3 December 2004. It appears to be hunting smaller birds at our bird feeder in the front yard. It stands about 12 inches high and we believe it is a juvenile Cooper's Hawk, as we finally saw that it has rounded tail feathers. We saw a pair of them flying over head on 26 December 2004 while we were clearing snow from our driveway. No doubt they were hoping we would refill our bird feeder.
The photo below was taken through 2 panes of glass as Phil was standing less than 4 feet away, on the other side of the front door.
