We spotted this guy doing pro-bono work at the Louisville Zoo, hanging around outside one of the exhibits. He appears to be a juvenile, maybe a Cooper's Hawk. Comments | Permalink

Birds of Kentucky: American Robins in the nest
2018-06-29 - Shelby Co., KY - Photo by Pen
A couple of robins, watching the world from the safety of the nest. Wikipedia says about young robins, "eggs hatch after 14 days, and the chicks leave the nest a further two weeks later. ... The adult male and female both are active in protecting and feeding the fledged chicks until they learn to forage on their own. The adult robin gives alarm calls and dives in a threatening manner towards creatures it considers potential predators, such as approaching cats, dogs and humans. The fledglings are able to fly short distances after leaving the nest. The wings of juvenile birds develop rapidly, and it only takes a couple of weeks for them to become proficient at flying."
