My wife and I do the Backyard Bird Count each weekend.
We've had a couple nice birds in the last two weekends.
Last weekend a Winter Wren dropped by. I think this is the first time
we have had one visit our backyard in Herndon.
Today we had an immature Cooper's hawk.
Here are some pictures. They are not the greatest, but they are good
enough to confirm identifications.
I have include an annotated picture of the Cooper's to show the field
marks I used to confirm the identification.
