Grown Up

Yesterday I saw a matured Cooper's Hawk.  Through the fall months, he was still a juvenile with yellow eyes and brownish back feathers.  Now in January, his appearance has changed.

Let me introduce to you a fine grown-up Cooper's Hawk. Ta, da,......

"I am a good looking, but hungry hawk."

"Now, down to a branch to better

scrutinize the surrounding."

"Anyone around here?"
