[va-richmond-general] Cooper's Hawk

The other day when I drove up in front of our house in Northside, I saw a 
juvenile Cooper's hawk on the trunk of a car two doors down from us!   It 
almost 
acted like it had a meal in its talons, but I could see nothing.  Maybe it was 
pecking at its own reflection?   Then it flew down the street a short 
distance, landed in a tree.   I ran for my binoculars, and headed down the 
street.  
It flew down beside a car, walked underneath it, and emerged on the other side. 
  I think a squirrel had been under there.   The Cooper's flew back up near 
its original position, then flew onto the hood of our car!   I felt honored!   
I walked slowly back to our house and in the front door.   When I turned my 
back to tell my husband to come look, it took off and I didn't see which 
direction it headed.   Although I enjoyed the prolonged, close-up looks, I 
wondered 
if this was abnormal behavior...
