Young Cooper's Hawk (Accipiter cooperii)

I was lucky enough to see this young Cooper's Hawk out at Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary last year and every time I look at the photos I managed to get I am struck by the ferocity and concentration that this bird displays. I posted another photo of this juvenile hawk HERE.

This morning Victoria has several inches of fresh snow and the white stuff is still falling heavily. As soon as it gets a little lighter outside I plan to go out and make some pictures. Below is what it looks like through my front window right now (8:15am).

Cooper's Hawk (Accipiter cooperii) Juvenile

I know, there's been a lot of birds lately on this ostensibly urban blog but I'm still playing catch up with all these city residents I've hitherto ignored. Here's another, my first hawk, Cooper's Hawk (Accipiter cooperii) I believe, although there are a couple of other very similar hawks. I saw this young one out at Swan Lake yesterday.
