Thanks guys. That's two votes for a Coopers Hawk and the description I read sounds correct. It was pretty small. Maybe a foot tall. I love that I can go to a bass board and find out just about anything!
We've had more snow this winter than I've ever seen here in Utah. It's been cold enough that it stays from one storm to the next. My backyard has been under over two feet of it since early December. I did see my grass in the front yard (South facing) a couple times though. We're in the foothills near American Fork Canyon and are a mile above sea level. The other day I saw 5 or 6 FAT deer prancing across the road up the street from my house. They're obviously eating well this winter, snow or not... I actually love living in this area, I just can't make a living here like I can in Los Angeles.
It's funny, the camera I took these pics with is a three year old Fuji FinePix S5100, which is a low/mid level digital at only 4MP. It has some great features though and has been a nice camera for me. Once I'm working again and have a few bucks saved, I want to upgrade to a Nikon D80. Then I'll turn over the Fuji to my son, who is already obsessed with taking pictures with it. Its auto mode is so good he actually gets great shots if they're framed well (which at just under three years old, is more random than planned)!
