flightman Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 This bird of prey flew overhead this morning at Jones Beach, NY. It made 3 large circles with its tail spread as seen here and its wings held quite flat. Is it an immature Cooper's Hawk? Sorry for the poor photo.

Avery Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Yes, Coopers. Not sure if it is immature though, as I think I see some orange barring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flightman Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Thanks, I thought it was immature because it seemed so pale underneath but perhaps I was fooled by the poor light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
