As I mentioned in a previous post, there has been much activity at the local Cooper’s Hawk nest this season. Just prior to my Arizona trip, three small chicks were seen in the nest. I’m always amazed at how quickly nestlings can grow. Three weeks after first seeing the young, they were testing their wings and hopping around the treetops and actively investigating their world.

those pics were AWESOME!!!!! like i was right in the nest with them. you really do have an EYE for photography. you must have a large pool of patience to draw from to wait for the right pic to take shape before your eyes too.
keep up the good work.
