Believe it ...These hawk photos are amazing, Kelly! Believe it or not, I see very few hawks here in our woods. Perhaps all our trees make for difficult maneuvering for them. We got about 6" of snow here. I was hoping for more, but I think we would have lost power for sure if we had gotten more, so... It is so beautiful, though. We went for a nice tromp in the snow today.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791185232391134319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-35061619735313366282010-02-07T15:53:57.003-05:002010-02-07T15:53:57.003-05:00Absolutely stunning and aptly named post.

We have adult Cooper's in the backyard all the time, and immatures too. Last year we had an adult red-shouldered hawk in our backyard once. I'll start watching a little closer. I just assumed we were too suburban for immature red-shouldereds. He was really puffed up here....I wonder if it was just his pose that made him look stocky. I'll look into it.

Plus the barring on the tail is too close together and not enough contrast between the two colors for a Cooper's. And the build is so stocky. I'd be more inclined to think this was an immature Red-tail (the red tail of the name wouldn't come about until the Summer molt) if I could get an idea of the size.Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.com
