Young Cooper’s Hawk Perched On Chair Arm-1

According to Ned Harris:

This is an adult Cooper's Hawk but a young adult. Probably a second-year bird.

 

This young hawk had been standing on a rock in the birdbath. Although I was about 10 meters away, I made it nervous. It has moved to the closest arm of a nearby garden chair, ready to fly away.

 

The water drops are dripping from the hose nozzle above. I leave it dripping in this hot weather so the birds will have a place to drink and to bathe.
