The Coopers Hawk nest is progressing well. There a four chicks present and growing quickly. They've been sitting up at the edge of the nest more often. Mom or dad are always sitting in a tree close by. It's been obvious that mom and dad have been busy working to feed the young ones as the yard, as well as the neighbors have been littered with the feathers of unlucky birds. A few Chipmunks have also fallen victim. I've included a couple photos at the link below. It's been a challenge to get good photos with the low light due to all of the foliage.
