p.1 #1 · Cooper's hawks, from courting to hatching
Been following two pairs of Cooper's hawks this year in Tucson, AZ. The first pair hatched out their chicks a week or two ago and the second pair still seems to be working on their nest. Attached are some of my favorite selections from the last few months. Sony A1 with either 400-800 or Sigma 300-600.
Female divebombing me after the chicks have hatched.
