Cooper's (for now) Hawk - a photo on Flickriver

            This beautiful hawk was seen at Lake St. Clair Metropark, Michigan.

It's one of my favorite birds, and they are sometimes seen in my neighborhood chasing sparrows or pigeons. 

I say call it a Cooper's "for now" because there is a movement to change all of the eponymous names of North American birds (birds named after a person). There are many commonly seen birds whose names will ultimately change.
