Juvenile Cooper's hawk
Cooper's hawk (Accipiter cooperii) is a medium-sized hawk native to the North American continent and found from Southern Canada to Northern Mexico. As in many birds of prey, the male is smaller than the female. The birds found east of the Mississippi River tend to be larger on average than the birds found to the west.
The juvenile Cooper's hawk has a white chest and abdomen heavily marked with brown "drips" that grow thinner and taper off lower on the body. Young Cooper's hawks have a yellow eye that will gradually darken to orange and then red as they mature.
