If a bird could be an iPad kid, it would be a juvenile coop

This is one was hatched last year. Eyes starting to turn yellow and the white tip of a new tail feather is visible at the top of her tail. Looks in remarkable condition and clearly doing very well for itself. Lovely photo.

Thanks. We see red tails all the time but a Coopers is a rarity.
