Another Nest!

 


The Cooper's Hawk couple has returned to the cemetery to start a new family!  This is the third year now that I have been privileged to witness their domestic activities.

Here are some photographs (with captions beneath each one).


Such a handsome bird!


The nest is well developed.


Here's the male flying with a twig for the nest.


You can see the nest at the top left and the female hawk at the bottom right.  Unlike the earlier nesting sites, I think that once the leaves come out, I may not get much of a view of the nestlings.


The famous hawk stare!
