Reflecting Coopers Hawk

Sometimes it pays to bring your camera along. We were at one of our local parks walking our dog and we spotted this Coopers Hawk right in front of us and standing on a tree branch. As he moved from on tree to another we followed and captured this photo. We were pleased with how the late afternoon sun reflected on his face and body. The Cooper's hawk is a medium-sized hawk native to the North American continent and found from Southern Canada to Northern Mexico. This was a young one as his eyes are still light yellow.
