A fun series to view...great coverage of various actions! After viewing these...I think I've may have misidentified coopers for red tailed hawks. Anyways - thanks for sharing!
Amazing action shots!
I've seen this sort of aggressive play for Peregrines but not Coopers. May serve the same purpose of developing bird hunting skills.
phenomenal series of pictures. must have been thrilling to be there. its amazing when you look at these pictures that they play and practice with each other without hurting each other. the first picture really highlights beaks and talons. thanks for sharing.
The first shot is just special, but the in-flight chase shots are terrific and put me in the moment as a talon reaches out to harry its sibling. Amazing stuff, all of it, well done!

Thank you, they continue to delight every day I am there!

Thanks, yes, it looks vicious, but seems to do no harm, at least for now
