Cooper’s Hawk bathing at Greenfield Park in Milwaukee County Wisconsin on October 22, 2018

By | | ,

A stop at Greenfield Park this morning produced a stunning show of a Cooper’s Hawk bathing. It bathed in a grass flooded area at the park for a good 5 minutes. The Cooper’s Hawk did not seem to mind me being there. It was a gorgeous morning with temps in the upper 40’s, full sun, low winds. Images were taken on October 22, 2018.

Just before exciting the water hole, then it flew into the woodland edge…
