Tucson has the greatest population of urban Accipiters known– at least one study has been done, and another is under way. Bruce Douglas shot these photos of three young and a parent out his wife Debra’s office window over a couple of days. I don’t think they provide anything but a bath.
Coopers are my favorite Hawk, Cant wait to get my generals so i can begin to think about getting one !
Bath, and, well, that great snack all Coops and youth soccer players enjoy. Orange slices!
I didn't ask Bruce but we put them out for orioles. Hmmmm…
The orange slices are leftovers from earlier bird feeding; it ended the minute we discovered the Cooper's nesting in the yard — it was just too easy pickings. There are 6 Cooper's that dominate the front and back yard of our small mid-town home.
