Awesome Paterson Raptor Pic

I love this shot of a Shooper's Hawk, taken last month by Chris Wright (no relation), near the Paterson Museum, which includes the Rogers Locomotive Works area.

Likely a Sharp-shinned…

Nice antique locomotive, too, but alas no rail.

(Thanks, Chris, and thanks to Bill Simpson for passing it along!)

Shoopers hawk? Is that a cross between a Cooper’s hawk and a sharp shinned?
