Cooper's Hawk

It was such a beautiful evening that we had our back door open. Suddenly we heard a strange chirping from outside. Our first thought is that it was a squirrel mad at a cat or something like that.

Much to our surprise, it was a huge hawk sitting in our tree. I think that it was calling its mate in the neighbor's yard. Alex ran inside to get his bird book and we finally found it. It was a Cooper's Hawk. We got a few pictures of it before it flew away, it was so very cool!
