Thanks to Andrew for sending: “On Saturday my wife Maddy got a great picture of this Cooper’s hawk that usually hangs out above the alley behind 8th and Taylor NW. It hit our window and was a little stunned, but shook it off after a few minutes and got back to work!”

Thanks to Paul for sending from Forest Hills:

“A few months back this juvenile Coopers hawk swooped down toward the very busy bird feeder behind our house. He misjudged his escape angle and slammed into our house. Ouch! He was pretty stunned, and recovered slowly in stages. Here he is about 15 minutes later. When he was first on the ground after knocking himself out, I had called animal control who sent an officer to pick him up. As soon as this little guy saw the officer, a minute or so after this photo, he quickly left the scene, flying pretty well and steady. He hasn’t been back.”

Thanks to William for sending this super cool shot from “New Years’ Night. He was sitting so still and let me get so close I thought he might be injured. I was on the verge of calling animal rescue when he finally took off. Must have been sitting on something he just caught.”

Thanks to Mike for sending: “Saw this juvenile Cooper’s Hawk in a tree outside my bedroom window in Brookland. I don’t usually see hawks in our yard, so this was pretty exciting!”
