Cooper's Hawk March 15 2020

Found Mr. & Mrs. Cooper's nest location today!  I heard the call of a Cooper's hawk.  Stopped running.  Mrs. Cooper flew to a tree branch close to me and then flew to the ground.  She picked up a twig and flew to another tree.  I followed her to that other tree.  I watched for some time while she collected more twigs, bringing them back to the nest.  The picture below shows that the nest is taking shape.  This nest is on the east side of Mount Pleasant cemetery on the long road heading toward "the circle" (section 29).  The tombstone at the base of the tree reads "Arnold".
