This Cooper's Hawk was with us for only a few days while we evaluated her ability to fly.
We gave the privelege of release to Susan Dalgarn, currently residing at Little Swamp Sanctuary. Susan will be teaching environmental science at Northwood University winter semester.
Joanne Williams photographs the event.
Look closely, just to the right of center, and you will see the Cooper's Hawk as she takes flight. These accipiters are swift, deep woods hawks, and are extremely agile in the air.
