Larry Paieski captured these images of an immature Cooper’s hawk that visited his backyard in West Pittston last November. Paieski said the hawk always spooked the sparrows that visited his feeders, and no doubt the raptor was trying to get an easy meal.
The streaks on the breast of this hawk, along with the white patches on the back, indicate it’s an immature. Adults have dark blue-gray feathers on the back and head, giving it a “hooded” look.
