Dave F just reminded me that owls have whitish/light feathers. Maybe a
young crow!?

A few of us watched two Cooper's Hawks at Lake Park yesterday. I was able
to get a close shot of the bird in the pic. I did not notice that it had
prey. The bird hadn't been acting like it was hunting. I wouldn't have
intruded if I knew it had dinner. I felt badly when I looked at my photos.
Anyway, the prey looks like a chick. Could it be a great horned owl chick?
Or would a Cooper's kill a rival male's chick?
