Observation details
3 juveniles that can fly but not well. Still near the nest. Streaking on breast suggests Cooper’s Hawk. The young appear to be just a day or two out of the nest. I walked away and when I came back one of the young was eating food that was left in the nest. The other two juveniles were out in trees well away from the nest tree and quiet.
