Adult male Cooper's Hawk (top) mating with the female. They usually mate each time he brings her food (3 times a day). Normally that would stop after she lays eggs. In this case, I'm pretty sure there are eggs in the nest, yet he continues to mate with her. 4/07/2019

Adult male Cooper's Hawk (left) and female (right) after she had finished eating supper he had provided for her. He will be her and the chicks (when they hatch) sole source of food for about 3 months total, start to finish.
