Cooper Hawk

This is a cooper hawk.  Somebody came along and 'helped' me by hitting publish before I had anything written.  Hmmm.  Most of the hawks in our area are the larger red tailed hawk.  They keep down the rodent population,  Mostly the rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels and mice.  They don't leave much for Dallas to harvest.  The Cooper hawk eats birds instead of rodents.  They are fancy fliers, gliding through tree branches or by bird feeders to get their favorite food on the wing.
