Hawk eating something in Roslindale backyard

Scott Kelley reports looking out at his Roslindale backyard today and watched a hawk finish up a meal atop a stump there. By the time he noticed what was going on, the hawk was mostly finished, so he wasn't able to discern what was on the menu. He adds:

The raptor looks to be a juvenile Cooper’s Hawk. Maybe too large for a Sharp-skinned?
