Cooper's Hawk in Vermont

A Northern Goshawk made a brief appearance today on Bragg Hill in Norwich, Vermont. It was sitting in a treetop where there are often Common Ravens hanging out. There were 2 Ravens in a field close by. When the hawk flew off, I turned around and went back, finding a Raven in nearly the same place. I got pictures of both and created a composite. Although the angles are different, I think the proportions are pretty close to correct. These pictures are cropped to about 1/8 of the frame , so they are greatly blown up and not the best quality.
