Cooper's Hawks
Sprinkler Shot 1 of 3
These are juvenile Cooper's Hawks looking daffy while enjoying an industrial strength sprinkler in the Leo Mol Garden of Assiniboine Park. Over a period of about 2 weeks, photographers and park workers had many chances to watch four Coop siblings playing, sometimes hilariously, in the sprinklers, which they loved. I thought that this was one of their more humorous postures, which reminded me of bad guys in cowboy movies carrying sawed off shotguns under their trench coats. Two other siblings joined this pair soon afterwards.
The two pictures to the right show a young female warbler who also absolutely delighted in being in one of the same powerful Park sprinklers.
