This immature Coopers Hawk flew in trying to snag a bird at my feeders, but missed.

Thanks Emily. I was hoping this young bird would pick up the piece of chicken I put out for the pair of Red-shouldered Hawks that come daily, but he ignored it and didn't catch anything either.
What a frame worthy picture! A Coop in the snow! Simply lovely! Silly youngsters have so much to learn!
Thanks Yuko, the white spots on his wings almost look like the snowflakes that are falling.
His plumage is breathtaking! Beautiful images!
Thanks Maria.
Wonderful series showing both sides of the bird!
