Raptor Wednesday

Recent Cooper’s Hawk sightings. Above: Sunset Park.

The Battery, at the southern tip of Manhattan.

Pier 4, Brooklyn Army Terminal.

Same Pier 4 bird chased some Fish Crows off this paddle wheel party boat.

Sunset Park again, from my window. (This is a regular perch for this adult.)

Bush Terminal Park. The following is this same juvenile-plumaged individual, who kept swooping over the hilly field and even seemed to be chasing Brant!
