This guy was on my patio railing this morning. I know there's spots, but it was also takin through a screen, so I didn't want to play with it.

Jesse that bird was on your rail? So sweet! It's a hawk of some sort, no?

 

[Misled]

Yes. It's a Cooper's Hawk. His dad used to hang in the parking garage across the street. Their nest is on the other side of the river in the trees. We watch them with a telescope. We also feed birds on the patio. The dad takes out pigeons from the parking garage. This smaller one wants some of the smaller birds that feed on the patio.

Here's his dad.

Yes. It's a Cooper's Hawk.

Here's his dad.

Beautiful bird, and a nice shot of him!

+1. He holds his tucked up leg very high.

Nice shots Jesse. The dad sorta looks like a juvenile to me though (I think they both are)?

 

[Misled]

The dad pic was in 2011. He's grown quite a bit since then. We know their nesting and winter spots on the hillside along the bank of the river. You can only view the nest when there's no leaves. They move into a cave behind the nest in the winter. We watch them from the patio with a telescope.

This is Gramps the year before.
