We have a tall tree across the street from our house that every year hosts a pair of hawks who nest, raise the hatchlings and fledge them. They showed up a little late this year but we now have two recently fledged Coopers hawks in the neighborhood and as usual, they congregate in my front courtyard that has a running fountain. The pictures were taken through the living room window and one of the young hawks was sitting on the fountain after drinking and then one of the parents showed up with with fresh prey. At the time the pictures were taken, I assumed there was only one fledgling but a day later I was sitting on the back patio and two of them landed less than 10 feet from me.(no camera unfortunately). Considering that the pictures are through a window and handheld, they turned out reasonably well.
