Cooper's Hawk!
On one of our first days of training in September, we all watched as a raptor flew to a perch in a tree right outside of our office. It sat there for minute, then flew off just as quickly as it landed. On a short walk this afternoon, a few of us spotted the bird again! Treading lightly this time, we were able to watch it go from perching on a light pole to eating a meal in a nearby tree (it must have caught something earlier). But what was it eating? Rat, pigeon, squirrel, a smaller bird? We scanned the area below the nest and found a few feathers, but many questions remain. We'll be sure to keep an eye out for this park resident in the coming weeks. What birds do you see around your neighborhood?
