["Jesse Livingston" <fernj@xxxxxxxx>]

Apparently, while I was away in Memphis getting my heart plumbing unstopped ( 3 
bypasses), my immature Cooper's Hawk has decided to put on some new clothing 
for the breeding season.  He/she is much darker now and has a mostly adult set 
of breast feathers.  The change seems rather sudden for only 1-1/2 weeks or so 
although there was some darkening before we left for Memphis.  Is this rapid of 
a change normal or has another bird moved in to the area.  Behavior and 
preferred roosting places are exactly the same.
