Cooper's Hawk
This photo was taken at the Reader Rock Garden nine days ago, on 13 May 2015, when I called in after a volunteer shift. Quite a few flower species are in bloom now, which is such a joy after so many months without colour.
As well as photographing flowers - tends to be a challenge whenever I go there, as it almost always seems to be windy! - I was happy to see this beautiful Cooper's Hawk perched for a short while, high up in one of the trees. Perhaps someone would let me know if my ID is incorrect - thanks.
"Among the bird world’s most skillful fliers, Cooper’s Hawks are common woodland hawks that tear through cluttered tree canopies in high speed pursuit of other birds. You’re most likely to see one prowling above a forest edge or field using just a few stiff wingbeats followed by a glide. With their smaller lookalike, the Sharp-shinned Hawk, Cooper’s Hawks make for famously tricky identifications. Both species are sometimes unwanted guests at bird feeders, looking for an easy meal (but not one of sunflower seeds)." From AllAboutBirds.
