Today I witnessed a cooper's hawk react strangely to thunder. (Actually I
believe it was a cooper's hawk, but I still have trouble telling coops from
sharpies, so correct me if I'm wrong.)
Anyway, everytime there was a loud thunder clap, the hawk would look up to the
sky and open it's mouth. It wouldn't make a sound, but repeated the behavior at
every loud thunder clap. I have never seen this before so I thought I'd share.
