I was lucky enough to get many photos of a pair of juvenile Cooper's hawks in the fall. Their flight capabilities are quite simply amazing, both within the forest and without. These photos I took of one of them in the span of just one minute with a fast shutter speed, show just how amazing.

There were many Crows and Ravens in the distance, kicking up a ruckus as they harassed another bird. The Cooper's Hawk, who had been perched, took off as if to follow, then suddenly spun away abruptly screaming in agitation.

I did not see what bird the Crows and Ravens were harassing, but whatever it was the Cooper's hawk obviously decided it wanted no part off it.
