VA Birders,
    For the last few weeks a juvenile Cooper's Hawk has been coming each 
morning to sit in the tree or on the pond rocks outside our dining room door. 
Sometimes it sits for as much as an hour. At other times it must be hungry 
because it drops from its perch after a few minutes to attempt to flush the 
birds from under the shrubs. It often flushes birds, but is usually not 
successful in catching one. Here are a  couple of photos. The first one was 
taken through the glass dining room door. The second is a close-up of the bird 
on the branch.
