Default Hawk migration

Recently, while at a high-rise condo in Ocean City MD, I noticed several hawks resting on their way south. Who would have expected such a predator on a concrete building? Perches come in many shapes and sizes, I guess.

I don't know. I think this may be a Cooper hawk but I was very surprised to see them.

Wow you are extremely lucky to see these amazing birds up close. And lucky they staying still long enough for you to capture these fantastic shots. The detail is great.
