Accipiter cooperii.
1887,
September 20.
Lake Umbagog.
Cooper's Hawk bathing.
Just below the forks I saw jets of water repeatedly fly
up into the air on the other side of a sand bar in the river. As
we approached a Cooper's Hawk rose from the water's edge & started
off across the stream giving me an easy shot. It proved a young
bird.
