Cooper’s Hawk perched Saturday morning on a low lying oak branch.
Anyone know if this is a juvenile hawk?
I haven’t found it, but there is a nest somewhere in our neighborhood. Mornings and evenings we hear the hawks screeching and occasionally spot the family of hawks flying overhead. I’ve seen two adult hawks and at least two juveniles.
It might look like I’ve turned this photo on its side. But, other than cropping the photo, this is the real deal — a young hawk flying straight up. When I took this, there were three hawks in my field of vision — an adult hawk soaring above, another juvenile darting sideways, and this one who took the up elevator.
I posted a year ago about Cooper’s Hawks and had better luck at getting a clear photo. Last year’s post also has some background on this amazing bird.
