This Cooper's Hawk decided to use the roof of our old bird feeder as a dinner table. Fitting place to eat I suppose. We haven't had seed in the feeder for quite some time. The hawk found this mourning dove somewhere else.
I was tring to find a photo to test my new logo / watermark out on, and discovered that I never posted this one online! Eep!
This is Cooper. His grandmother, Julia is a friend of mine and a fellow knitter. When we were taking his newborn photos, I had to make sure his mom brought out some of the handknits so we could capture them with him! I adore this blanket that she made for him - so fabulous!
This is my favorite red couch baby from this spring.
Even bettter when viewed large! Made it to Explore (#17) for October 17, 2007.
This Coopers Hawk landed on my backyard patio table. He had his eye on a terrified female grosbeak that flew into the base of my patio door. The grosbeak remained motionless, but the hawk had it's eyes on him all the time.
This is where I stepped in when he moved onto the patio and started for the small bird. The hawk stared at me but didn't flinch.
He wanted his dinner. I raised my hands and he flew to a different advantage point not loosing sight of the grosbeak.
The is the main 4x4 post and feeder where all my bird activity comes to and this hawk knows it. I chased him up into a spruce tree where he kept his eyes on me.
I picked up the paralyzed and totally frightened grosbeak and moved him to the other side of my backyard while watching his escape about 30 seconds later. I waited all year for those grosbeaks to show up and they are only present for a few days then head north I assume.
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.

Swooped up the creek at Sugar Creek Metro Park while I was bent down photographing the wild flowers. Looked at me when the camera clicked but seemed unconcerned. A wonderful day to be in the woods.
A first time visitor to the backyard, this juvenile Cooper's Hawk was quite the sight as it swept into the yard today, scattering all the songbirds and sparrows.
I spotted a small hawk in the shadows of a tree while at the lake. Small size plus rounded tail tip & big head makes it a male coopers. The orange eyes are halfway between changing from a juvenile's yellow to an adults red.

Five days after fledging, (previous photos), the young hawk's tail feathers have grown and now peek below the bottom of the branch.
He has also been introduced to the relentless attacks by various passerines. In this photo, a blue-gray gnatcatcher strafes the young hawk in a futile attempt to move the hawk along.
