My family often sees juvenile hawks in the fall and winter flying around and preying on the feeder birds or snakes in our yard or when we're out on our morning walks. I saw this one early this morning sitting on the electric line by our street. I am no hawk-identifying expert, but I am almost sure this is a juvenile Cooper's Hawk, Accipiter cooperii. Anyone know for sure? Isn't it a beautiful bird? It looked RIGHT at us as we walked by.
