Cooper’s Hawks have nest at the Museum the past two years. Hopefully they do the same this year.

A short tail, small head, and white or gray primaries (the feathers at the tip of the wing) are trademarks of the Black Vulture. Black Vultures flap their wings more often, and more rapidly than do their larger relatives, Turkey Vultures.
Although larger and more powerful than Red-shouldered Hawks, Red-tailed Hawks are often chased out of the Museum's airspace by the smaller hawk.
