Great cam last year. Hoping for sound this year!

I love these pics! Thanks for posting, SClakegal! It won't take this chick long to grow into those feet. Note the tiny feathers just beginning to cover his ears. Those aural feathers grow early on Cooper's hawks, and that's what gives them that "zombie" look.

Cam just went live in Saskatchewan! Yes, I have been looking every single day!

Looks like a different nest, and I don't see any chat or info yet. As a matter of fact, the cam just went off line, so they may be still setting it up, but Mama CoHa is on the nest!!

We have an ambitious pair this year! Six eggs! While I was posting the pic of the eggs, an adult popped into the nest for a quick look. It was probably Dad sneaking a quick peek.

Doesn't look as if there is sound? Wouldn't it be awesome to hear the kak kak kak? This is going to be a great vantage point.

Yes, I wish there were sound. Having heard the many sounds of the New Forest goshawks, I suspect there are many sounds other than "kek kek kek." Sure would like to hear what they are!

I'm so happy for you r4. This must be so awesome for you to watch again this year.
I'd just checked on this cam yesterday and was afraid it wouldn't be on again this year. Surprise! WooHoo!

I've lost the link to contact them - anyone save it from last year? They are up, mom on the nest, but no chat

We have babies! Yesterday, the cam was down, so I'm not sure of the hatch date, but there are at least two hatchlings in the nest today. There very well could be three; we'll just have to wait til Mama gives us a better look. She was feeding them when I looked in, and I could see two bobbleheads.

Ooop! Later in the day, I counted four heads during a feeding.

And here is a tiny url since we can't post the livestream one on a Ustream site.

To my relief, this afternoon Mama fed them from another angle. Now you can see them all lined up for dinner - four in a row:

Yesterday, it poured rain in Regina. Mama CoHa was drenched and stayed close on top of her brood. Today, I know she is happy to dry off and move about.

Question of the day: How many mouths is she feeding? I see five now, maybe six?

The Cooper's hawks have had a lot of rain this week. Mom CoHa shows us how to supersize a Mombrella:

This little snake is in a bad neighborhood.
