Well, sometimes you go looking for birds and sometimes they come to you. As I was leaving my office for lunch yesterday, I spotted this hawk next to a large factory water tower who had already found his/her lunch. I carefully turned my truck around, readied my camera and headed back to hopefully snap a few pictures. I hurriedly fired off a couple of shots before the raptor retrieved the bird he was feeding on and flew away. I identified the hawk as a Cooper's Hawk because of its'size. It is very similiar to the smaller Sharp-shinned Hawk. I ID'd the dead bird as a pigeon. I am not 100% sure it was a pigeon but I am 100% sure it was dead.
