It was a Cooper's Hawk. I did not dare to move, afraid that the hawk would sense a shadow and fly away at any moment. I focused the camera lens on the eyes.

Cooper's Hawk
One morning I was birdwatching through the patio sliding door with a camera in my hands. Wow!! Out of nowhere a giant bird flew across the backyard. Before I did anything else, that bird came right back and landed in front of my patio.
It scanned around with wicked eyes, but could not find a squirrel which was here a second earlier. I was relieved and locked this encounter with my photos.
