The golden hour light perfectly highlights the beautiful crisp patterns on this young Cooper’s hawk’s plumage. It is always a privilege to witness juvenile raptors figuring out the world; those awkward yet determined practice flights and hunting attempts are such a vital part of their journey to independence. Taking a breather on a rooftop is the perfect vantage point for a quick break and a look around. You caught a truly serene, majestic moment in their otherwise chaotic learning phase—thank you for sharing this beautiful glimpse into their development!<BR /><BR />Best Regards<BR /><BR /></P> Mon, 13 Jul 2026 11:55:59 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Share-Your-Photos/Apex/m-p/601886#M11854 robin43yard 2026-07-13T11:55:59Z
