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.
That long tail (rudder) in combination with their short but very broad wings gives them a lot of maneuverability, which they need, of course, to catch their main prey: other birds.
It's a quail's worst nightmare. :^o
