300th Post: Cooper's Hawk

 Saw this the other day stalking the feeders...immature Cooper's Hawk!
 Brazen, really, but what does one expect from a juvenile?
 Changes are coming soon for this one...yellow eyes will redden
Dark browns will give way to shades of gray.
And those thin virtical streaks will give way to horizontal bars on the breast. Still, the hunger for things with feathers will burn in this one's belly...it is what Cooper's Hawks do.
