A
parent (Mom or Dad) Cooper’s Hawk tends its nest with its babies. The
nest is approximately 5 m high. Both parents tend the nest.
We could get close to the hawk because there were four
baby hawks in the nest. We're
pretty sure that this parent hawk was telling us that we were not welcome.
But we think our distraction was almost nothing compared to the fact that we,
human beings have been destroying our environment. We should make an effort to
keep our environment clean.

Yeah, now (090102), the parents and the four chicks are probably in a southern
state. ... I wish I could fly like a bird. For more info on Cooper’s Hawk:

Believe it or not, some hawks such as Red-Tailed Hawks spend the winter here in
Minnesota. Some bald eagles and many kinds of owls winter in Minnesota and
Wisconsin as well.
