------=_Part_65198_19954762.1227537747574 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hi All, I posted yesterday on naturens about a juvenile Accipiter species that Allison and I saw yesterday. After taking a look at my ID shots, Ian McLaren and Eric Mills have confirmed my feelings that the bird is indeed a juvenile Cooper's Hawk. My photos are not as good as Richard Stern's from 2 years ago, but seem to be diagnostic at least. I have posted 4 tightly cropped id shots: http://chimera.stfx.ca/id/coopers.html Also I have made a map that you can access by clicking or copy-pasting the following url: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&ll=45.783387,-62.080436&spn=0.012959,0.025728&t=h&z=16&msid=118082951089515722918.00045c6ff95b3ac77161f Malignant cove is accessible by traveling 20km north of Antigonish on the 245 via Hawthorne Street. The bird was seen perched in a snag about 150 m after turning east on the 337, just past the little bridge over Malignant Creek on the north side of the road. After this, it flew to a tree and perched (so it seemed) on the south side of the road overlooking the creek. I will post more "scenic" images of the bird today.
