Cooper's hawk

Two Cooper's hawks swooped over the water while out hunting, and I was able to capture a photo of one of them.  This summer I've usually seen them in pairs flying over the Bluegrass Prairie Park waterway near my home.

This morning I was accompanied by "Nuke", someone with whom I used to work. He wanted to see the osprey at Farmington Lakes.  The osprey failed to show up, but we saw many other birds.
