Cooper's Hawk

Since 2004, I've spotted a Cooper's Hawk in the same spot in my neighborhood almost every winter, but only on one or two days. In earlier years, it might have been the same bird. In 2010, a juvenile appeared, and was obviously a much younger hawk than the one I saw in 2009. On Feb. 28, 2012, I saw two Cooper's Hawks in the same back yard. One was protecting a freshly killed Mourning Dove.

Interesting to see years of photos. Your yard must be very attractive to the Cooper's Hawks! Nice work on the gallery! V I had a juvenile Coopers in my yard this winter. Then later, a female Red Shouldered hawk showed up and the Coopers left. Earlier this month, while I was photographing the female hunting in my yard, a male showed up and they mated and I got photos.
