Subject: Re: [GeneseeBirds-L] Cooper's Hawk
I see that the eye color on this adult bird is quite red, which leads me to
believe that it is an older adult. In my experience young adults still
have yellow eyes, which gradually get redder over the years. So I think
this is probably a different bird from the juvenile that you previously
photoed.
