The B&H rolls through Coopers Plains, New York behind a pair of ALCO C424s with a train of mostly empty propane tanks from Savona heading east towards the NS interchange in Painted Post. B&H operates one of the few remaining sections of the Lackawanna mainline between Buffalo and Binghamton that wasn't abandoned immediately after the Erie Lackawanna merger in 1960. Before the prelude of the EL merger, the double-track DL&W mainline stretched 396 miles between Buffalo and Hoboken.
Cooper's Hawk in the apple tree a few feet from the feeder. Had to take the feeder down for a while.

This guy was lifting off from a building. Just happened to have the right camera settings to make the catch.

A coopers hawk has a nest in the greenbelt near our home. One of the chicks left the nest before he could fly. One adult stands guard over it and lets humans & dogs walking by know that they are not welcome, by dive bombing them from behind. He is warning us to stay away from the young one.
The Cooper’s Hawk is quite a small Raptor. Usually captures prey while flying.
Went to a large dog park today, with the dog, in late afternoon, with my longest lens. This guy posed so nicely in the wind.
Got this guy dining on a dove in my patio. I was so excited I was shooting thru the glass, as I was afraid he’d fly away if I opened the slider. I finally snuck around the side and was shooting from the corner of the house around the corner, I know he knew I was there, but he continued daintily picking apart the unfortunate dove for about a half hour or more. He then flew off with the carcass.
This seemed very small for a Cooper's Hawk but that is my best guess as to ID. The Sharp-shinned Hawk is very similar and somewhat smaller but I believe the tail feathers are squarer. This guy was seen checking me out from a tree adjacent to the car park at King Gillette Ranch

When leaving the river this morning I happened upon a pair of coopers hawks building a nest. One would stand guard while the other collected a branch or two. Now I just need to remember which tree this nest is in for the next time I visit!
Juvenile Cooper's Hawk - (Accipiter cooperii)
Hi There!
It is Wannabe Warmer Wednesday, a day to post something other than rain or snow! It is all about warmth of spirit, no matter where you live!
Summer and early fall 2018 brought many photographers to a local park because there was a parent and youngster Cooper's Hawk who didn't mind the lens. Imagine that! So on this very warm fall morning, my friends and I went to find the Cooper's and lo and behold, the young one decided to fly right in front of us and pose in the crabapple tree! WWW!
I'm especially appreciative of finding these hawks in 2018, because aside from a quick spotting of the adult in very early spring of 2019, I didn't see any Cooper's in 2019.
Thanks a million for stopping by and for your comments, all are appreciated! I love hearing from you! Have a fantastic day!

Cooper's hawk (Astur cooperii) is a medium-sized hawk native to the North American continent and found from southern Canada to Mexico. This species was formerly placed in the genus Accipiter. As in many birds of prey, the male is smaller than the female.
I spotted this young cooper’s Hawk in a large weeping willow. He also spotted me but for some reason did not fly as they usually do when they know they have been seen. So I was able to get a few good shots of him before he flew into another tree. I went to that tree but because he was so well camouflaged I could not find him again.
This little male was terrorizing our feeders and neighborhood all winter. What a treat that it took to sitting in our Valley Oak to call and preen. Elk Grove, California

Sitting only a few feet off the walking trail this beautiful hawk stayed only long enough for only a couple of quick shots. Totally surprised to see it that close but lucky to get most of the bird in the frame :)
Thank you for viewing
The Cooper's Hawk is doing a fly by my balcony on his way to hunt. He/she lives on my building's roof just above me. It had found a mate in spring and they had two chicks. I sometimes see all four hunting together. I texturized the sky because it was a dreary, grey day and the sky was dull.
While watching my bird feeders the other day, I watched all the birds scatter - a sure sign some kind of predator was in the area. Sure enough, along came this beautiful Coopers Hawk. He landed right on my patio wall and posed nicely for a few shots, then went merrily on his way - what a magnificent fellow he was!! (He didn't get any lunch, though.)
Cooper seems to be looking at me as saying "not another photo, hurry up" This shot probably also qualifies for the HBW.
