This juvenile Cooper’s Hawk was photographed in my yard in Cortez, Colorado, on August ?, 2022, after a downpour during our monsoon. Taken using Nikon Equipment, iso 1000 300mm f5.6 1/1600s. 

Accompanying Water Reflection: In Montezuma County, Colorado, we were very fortunate to receive decent abundant monsoonal rains in 2022. Although severe drought conditions still exist in the Four Corners region, it has been beautiful to see the area flourish with the moisture we have received.

This photo was a submission to the 2022 We are Water Photo Contest.
