Habitat
Cooper’s Hawks are forest and woodland birds, but our leafy suburbs seem nearly as good. These lanky hawks are a regular sight in parks, quiet neighborhoods, over fields, at backyard feeders, and even along busy streets if there are trees around.

Marvelous close-up of this handsome youngster. Great looking raptor and a terrific close-up. TFS Windoze!
