Cooper's Hawks 2019

Cooper's Hawk Nesting

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
