These were shot 6/13-6/14 and as you can see the chicks have made great progress is growing their new feathers. I am satisfied these are Coopers Hawks but if wrong please feel free to correct me. There are three and these two are way behind as the other one fledged around 6/9 and is on its own. These spend their time plucking out the last of their downy feathers and jumping from limb to limb, but not far from the nest, waiting for a meal to be delivered.

If you look close it has a down feather in its beak.

Upper left and bottom right. They are well camouflaged and can't really be noticed with the naked eye!

Wow, we have two of the same birds also in a pine tree! They are loud when hungry and cry out all morning long. The other day it rained and they were quiet as mice. LOL I guess they don't like getting wet and had no way to get out of the rain.
