Coopers Hawks are one of those birds that tolerate human presence.

Reflecting back to a trip taken this past winter in search of Great Gray Owls. Though it appears to be a warm sunny day it was in fact -25c but no wind…it was warm enough that no gloves would be required.
With an active owl located it turned out to be a great opportunity for flight captures as it hunted the roadside for a meal.

Return visit to where the chick that was previously having a bath…I’m calling him “Splash” for the lack of a better name.
Now finding him on a higher perch, exercising his wings…after watching him for an extended amount of time he made two flights. He appeared to have this flying/landing thing down pat and doing very well for a new fledge.
