Peanuts on a Tuesday that’s gone
Thank you peanut. No, his name is not peanut, it’s Cooper the juvenile Cooper’s hawk. Why thank the peanut? Couple of reasons. First, without the peanuts, this shot and many others would not have been possible for me to take in the comfort zone of my yard. Huh? Well, peanuts attract Jays and Jays attract …. Yes, you guessed it. Secondly, I am dealing with a bit of budgetary cognitive dissonance here. My dollar outlay for peanuts has reached new heights and is now my number one household expense. I spend more on peanuts than I do on gas (that’s both types of gas, the one for the truck and the heating kind for the house), phone, electricity (not combined, just individually), cable modem and tv package. There are of course benefits to this, mostly to the environment. It keeps me and my truck off the road polluting the atmosphere while taking pictures of Cooper in the yard instead of spending fruitless hours searching for him and his companions in the environs.
So, enjoy this shot and keep in mind how truly environmentally friendly it is even though produced by an Albertan.
By the way, it’s a juvie because he does not have the red eye that apparently can take up to four years to develop. I think I got that piece of wisdom from Don Delaney. It does not take me nearly that long to sport that red in the eye. One night of partying and …. maybe I should show Cooper.
And since this was taken on a Tuesday and it’s gone now, the choice is obvious. You are welcome Lou.
