Cooper’s Hawk

Posted on April 16, 2012 by

About 6:15 last night, my son yelled for me to get my camera. There was a hawk in a tree right outside the window ripping apart a small bird. We live on Cripple Cove in East Gloucester, and I can’t remember  ever seeing a hawk that close to the houses. It ate its meal while we took several photos then flew down and landed on top of my car before taking off. I did some research and found out it was a Cooper’s Hawk. Interesting!
