This photo is a follow-up of last week's photo of the Cooper's Hawk chicks in Dallas City Park. There has been an amazing transformation in their appearance in a short period of time. The fuzzy chicks of last week were photographed on the 26th of June. This photo was taken on Sunday, the 9th of July. In 13 days, they have grown enough feathers to be able to make their first short flights. We got to see them fly first from limb to limb in the tree that contains their nest, and then venture out to fly to a second tree. From what I have read, they will continue to hang around the area for the next 30 days, in order to be fed by the parents. - Jim Scott
