22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Cooper’s Hawk

We often see hawks flying in the sky of the nearby surroundings. This is our first time to see a hawk resting in our entrance railing. While the hawk was resting, a wild grey rabbit was also nearby at the front yard. We expected that the hawk might catch the rabbit and eat it. But actually, I didn't happen. Probably the hawk is too small compared to the rabbit.
