In a serendipitous coincidence for Chicago hockey fans, my Florida correspondent has sent me today this photo of a defiant young hawk.

Defiant baby hawk, Fort Myers, Fla., May 2014.

Like its Chicago confreres, it refuses to go down without a fight. The hawk is in the correspondent’s front yard; she thinks “the wind wrecked the nest. There is a second baby up in the tree. ”

I don’t know what species it is; perhaps readers can provide an ID.
