I finally photographed my first accipiter. I believe this is a juvenille Cooper's Hawk (though I admit I may not be able to tell the difference between a Coopers and a sharp-shinned hawk, yet). Unlike any other hawk I have photographed, this one was surprisingly accepting of my presence and allowed me to approach quite close.
This junco was kind enough to perch in great light for me.

Not a great image, but I have been trying to get a decent image of a flicker for over a year now. This is probably one of the better ones so far...
