jaykellerDescription
White-throated Swift hit the reflective window of my office. After hearing it hit, I went outside and discovered it upside down on the ground. After holding it for about 10 minutes, it flew off on its own from my hand, shaken but not broken. Video of the encounter here:

Cooper's Hawk (Accipiter cooperii)Observer
johnkargesDescription
Melanistic juvenile (likely male based on size relative to the Great-tailed Grackle it was feeding upon). Verified by William Clark, and Lance and Jill Morrow. First observed by M. Silvas with me, and I shouted "melanistic Cooper's Hawk, OMG" as I identified the bird preliminarily, before submitting it to experts for review.
