Recently, I had just driven around the corner from my apartment in densest
Santa Monica when I spotted a large drab brown bird gliding up the trunk of
a tree.  I jump out and chased it down the block until it settled breifly in
a bare tree, where I got a good look at it.  Size, facial pattern, range,
environment and behavior all indicate an immature Cooper's Hawk which is new
for me and seems to be a pretty neat catch.  Incidently, it looks like the 
Nat. Geo. guide mislabels these hawks in terms of sex, maturity.
