Juvenile Cooper's Hawk

21 Aug 2008 123
We think this Cooper's Hawk was a young one - and it was certainly vocalizing continuously. Seen at Strathcone Park Ravine yesterday morning. This Hawk is similar to a Sharp-shinned Hawk - one of the identifying factors is that the tail of a Cooper's Hawk is rounded at the tip. Easy to remember: C(ooper's) is for "curved". Such a beautiful bird of prey!
