Ann Mendoza has Cooper’s Hawks in her backyard. A whole family of them! From the looks of things there are at least five fledglings of various ages documented in these photographs—that’s a big brood! In one of the pictures mom or dad makes an appearance and sends the youngsters scattering!
![The hawk on the fence with the slate gray wing and fanned tail is the adult—likely the male. The others are all juveniles.](http://dfwurbanwildlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/coopershawk-family-007.jpg)
