a funny thing happened at work! a huge hawk, like the one pictured, came out of the racking at h.d. under the canopy in the pot aisle, crashing to the ground with a huge dove in his/her talons! feathers flying everywhere, dove feathers, and then took off with the dove out into the open area of the garden and was gone. this all happened in a split second and only a few feet from a h.d. associate. really freaked him out, still sweeping up feathers.....:)

Sure looks like a first year, immature, Cooper's Hawk. BN

That is a juvenile Red-tailed hawk. It is a "hatching year" bird, meaning it was born this past spring/summer.

I agree, immature Red-tailed Hawk. BN
