Oh how I wish I had taken this photo of my nine month old Dalmatian "Cooper"

We put Cooper into the kennels at Sarah's Pet Services near Elgin in Morayshire for a couple of days.

This amazing photo showing Cooper appearing to fly was taken by Sam who works for Sarah, on her phone.

A helluva photo Sam:-)))

Added some texture for this portrait! A bird expert said maybe over age 2yrs. Outer texture is my own, softening texture from Anna Lenabem.

Cooper's Hawk

It is amazing to watch these Hawks...how still and motionless they are!

 

Dining on a Gamble's quail by my kitchen door. He plucked the quail, ate 1/3 of him and left the carcass on my favorite chair. I cleaned up the mess not realizing he would return the next morning for breakfast. I'll know better next time.

Spotted this immature Cooper's Hawk perched near a trail in the RBG Cootes Paradise Sanctuary, Hamilton, Ontario.

(Accipiter cooperii)

This bird has been in my yard at least 3 times today. I got distant photos this morning but this afternoon it landed and stayed about 5 minutes in an apricot tree close to my house. I have photographed what I believe is the same bird several times in the past 2 months. IMG_4651

 

Thank you everyone for the views, comments, awards, and faves. Happy New Year!

A pair of Cooper's Hawks were busy flying to various trees and trying to extract some twigs. They were then flying back to another tree that was being used to build a nest. It was quite a neat experience and they let me get a bunch of images while they worked on their material gathering.

Sunset seen from our camp by the Cooper Creek at Innamincka, South Australia. It was enough to make us stay for another day.

Cooper's Hawk. This hawk hunts around our neighborhood. He chased a pigeon into one of our windows, killing it instantly. He was not leaving without that pigeon, so he let me get unusually close to take some pictures.

Dashing through vegetation to catch birds is a dangerous lifestyle. In a study of more than 300 Cooper’s Hawk skeletons, 23 percent showed old, healed-over fractures in the bones of the chest, especially of the furcula, or wishbone.

One more of the Coopers folks, and we don not see them very often especially posed like this or the previous one, quickly becoming my favorite Raptor. Hope a great Holiday was had by all and that everyone spends a lot of money on Black Friday.

 

And thanks for everything.

A Cooper's Hawk practising Yoga! Photographed in Adams Gulch near Ketchum, Idaho

almost sure this is a Cooper's about Crow size. Too bad the tail was not it the picture

A westbound empty coal train soars across the famous bridge at Coopers, WV. For those looking for foliage shots, colors on the Pocahontas District are looking absolutely stunning right now.

I had to check and am pretty sure this is an immature Coopers Hawk. I thought from pictures it might have been a Sharp Shinned, but the markings on the chest convince me otherwise. I'm perfectly open to being corrected if any of you think otherwise. I got lucky with this hawk as I saw it coming from a distance and was able get it in the frame for a long series of shots. This one is my favorite because of the way the light is striking its head.

 

A surprise find in my backyard - a little cooper's hawk with a fresh kill. I slowly stepped out into my backyard and photographed this bird enjoying it's fresh kill. Was sadly harassed by a very brave red squirrel and eventually took it's kill away into the bushes.

Posing for a portrait on my fence.

This year we have three cooper hawk fledges. They are currently learning to hunt. Two of the three graced me with their photos the other evening when they landed on the railing of the upstairs deck! Hard to believe these huge birds are babies. :)
