Fairview Park: Cooper's Hawk
Costa Mesa. Fairview Park. NW side, fence overlooking a golf course. While I was distracted by the meadowlarks, he slipped behind me (seemingly out of nowhere). I had only one shot. Hardly a perfect one, but I'm thinking: Peregrine.
According to my much raptor-wiser friend @just.birdies, this is a mature Cooper's hawk not a Peregrine. (I'm learning.)
