We don't normally bother with formal science lessons, but when this bird died on our doorstep we took it in for further examination.
It was weighed and measured and examined, and we have come to the conclusion that it is/was an immature Cooper's hawk.
Cause of death was not obvious, and we refrained from performing a biopsy for further clues. Maybe if we find another dead hawk when the kids are in highschool...

uwee, might definetely be a good topic for an experiment but possibly disecting it ? yock is all I can say.
Kids sure are growing up !
that's supposed to be yuck :o)
That's neat! It's not neat that you had a dead bird on your property but it is neat that you could take the time to look at it and determine what it was. Isn't the colouring beautiful?
Roze you can keep it in the freezer till they are in highschool:) And then dissect it...
Shucks, Marian! I should have thought of that!! I threw it out already. :(
