Cooper on ground
Cooper's Hawk (Accipiter cooperii)
After the cooper flew off from the trestle dome, I noted that it had kept low in its flight. So after taking some more photos of flowers, I walked to the corner of the garden and saw, on this small shed on the hill, these three juvenile coopers. Now, the two basking in the sun might be the juveniles, and the other, the mother, but they all have the same dark feathers on the crown of their heads, so I am assuming they are all the same age.
