Coming home tonight at 5:30 PM I was surprised to have a Cooper's Hawk sitting in my Choke Cherry tree. The bird was very calm and undisturbed by my car. Probably hungry. I drove very slowly into the drive-way to withing 30 feet from it. Juvenile, brown color, with reddish streaks on breast and belly. It was quite big. What a bird when he stretched and fanned his wing and tail feathers. Have had a Sharp-shined off and on for several weeks but it is much smaller.
