Observation details
Brown dominant color....HY---with large white stripe at tip of tails. The hawk on the upper limb was calling constantly even before I got there. I heard it as I was driving up the hill! That is how I found them both. The other one lower in the tree was calm and quiet and preening itself and seemed not to notice me! They are probably siblings and one of them is still begging for food. Because they were hanging out together and were both HY (and they stayed in the area despite my walk around under the trees near them), I am labeling them as recently fledged. They are older fledglings but are probably near their nesting sight since they are still together and the habitat is appropriate here! Adult Cooper's Hawks are not usually together unless it is a mating pair nor do they stay in the area when you approach.
