Young Cooper’s Hawk takes in the warm sun

Following a couple of weeks of cold and snowy weather, blue skies and warmth finally returned to the Colorado Front Range this week. This juvenile #hawk seemed to be soaking it all in and reveling in the mild temps – I can’t blame it! 😉

Cooper’s Hawks prey on smaller birds and prefer to hang out in wooded areas which makes them pretty tough to spot. I myself have only seen a few.
