This adult Coopers Hawk made a successful kill. I was not able to determine what meal was being served. These birds are absolutely stunning. They show patience that we all should all be jealous of. This bird was on watch for an hour before I had to leave. When I returned to my watch the kill had been made. It had a death grip on the bird for another hour. I am sure the Coopers would have consumed the meal right here, but a couple of Common Crows arrived on the scene and apparently bothered the Hawk so much that it took the meal "To Go."Maybe this photo will help with some of the discussions about telling a Coopers from a Sharpie.
