Cooper's Hawk - 05 Jan 2020
On the way home from Willow Run Airport I cut through Willow Metropark to look for a possible Broad-winged Hawk that Don Sherwood reported a day earlier. He couldn't verify at the time, so I gave a passing look as I drove through the park. I didn't see any birds except a single adult Cooper's Hawk perched in the tree next to the road. Convection currents made photography difficult as I shot with a window open, but I knew getting out would scare it away.
