Cooper's Hawk (juvenile, eating)
Accipiter cooperii
39.4389, -76.6444
Field Notes
Habitat:
Suburban neighborhood with several mature trees. Our backyard is kept more natural acting as a habitat for the neighborhood wildlife. The large number of small/song birds living here attracted the three young Cooper's Hawks. Their eyes have not turned red yet.
Notes:
The other two flew off as I got close to the walnut tree, but all three are getting more comfortable with our presence. This one refused to fly off and stayed eating.
