Cooper's Hawk

Lake Frederick, Virginia

Following a 30 minute downpour, this Cooper's Hawk perched on one of our backyard bird feeder posts.
You can clearly see the results of the downpour on this hawk. Image taken through dinning room windows.

Most creatures have to put up with a drenching; we are the weaklings that need shelter or a hot shower afterwards (at least, I am).

Always alert. Look at those strong legs! Nice capture.
