Cooper's Hawk

This is the neighborhood Cooper's hawk who is getting a bit hungry. It is coming to my stick and branch pile more often now trying to catch a small songbird, dove or cowbird by surprise so it can get an easy meal. So far it hasn't been successful that I know of in my yard, but perhaps in another. Meanwhile the birds continue to enjoy the seed, peanuts and pieces of fruit that they find in the pile.

 

In this photo, it is adjusting its stance to prepare to take flight.

 

Éste es el gavilán de Cooper que parece ponerse más y más hambriento porque visita el montón de ramas y palitos que les ofrezco a las aves como protección y como lugar donde pueden obtener semillas, cacahuates y trozos de fruta. Quiere atrapar un ave cantora, una paloma o un tordo de cabeza café por sorpresa para calmar su hambre. Por lo que sepa, no ha tenido éxito en mi patio, tal vez en otro.

 

En esta foto, ajusta su posición para prepararse a lanzarse al vuelo.
