Cooper's Hawk (juvenile) commented on by misako California, USA6 years ago

@leducky300: the hawk was sighted right in my backyard in Emeryville, CA. They are very common in my urban neighborhood as there are lots of pigeons.

Thanks @GCDruenn. I thought leucism at first, but it appears it may only apply to animals.

No, I have not seen them since 2015.
