[Flycatcher]

Looks like a mature Cooper's hawk. It's an accipiter, which to put it bluntly: It eats other birds!

I got 'em out here in the desert too. They love quail.

Fun to watch, but, yes, nature can be cruel to human eyes.

Yep, in this area they are also known as "Quail Hawks", but I always call them coopers hawks. I think they are neat with their long tail and how graceful they are.
