Hawk Watch Day 7

More nest building and some mating activity today.

We have a pair of Cooper Hawks starting a nest right outside our 3rd floor condo. We're going to document each day and hopefully will be able to get some unobstructed views of their family once they hatch.

the porch screen obstruction was quickly removed
