Juvenile Cooper's Hawk, an original raptor photograph created by Chris Scroggins. Copyright 2022.
.....
Vertical portrait of a young, juvenile Cooper's Hawk ( accipiter cooperii) with wet feathers, perched in a tree on a rainy day in late Spring. The yellow legs and long talons are clearly visible, as is the penetrating gaze of the yellow eyes. The left wing is noticeably relaxed. The Cooper's is one of the few hawks which chooses to fly through the woods in pursuit of small birds. However, they still run the risk of running into a tree branch and breaking a wing. Hawks often patrol the edge of my tiny backyard, hoping to snatch a small snake or chipmunk.
