Juvenile Cooper’s hawk. Seen in Prescott, Az near the high school. There’s an active nest in the area where I saw this bird, it must be one of the young from that nest.

Swainson’s hawk carrying nest building material. The bird was about 15 feet over my head, I could not fit him into the frame. One of my best Swainson’s hawk photos!

The Swainson’s hawk youngster is getting bigger. Here are two photos of mom and baby. And one of mom bring a squirrel to the nest – not a great image but you can see the squirrel’s tail hanging below the hawk.
