Have a great weekend everyone stay safe! :)

Cooper's hawks are attracted to my feeder because of the concentration of food. The food of choice of course are the birds not the seeds.

My back garden in Belmont, CA

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

He was playing park greeter, right at the circle.

I caught one of our resident hawks in our neigbor's tree, irritating the local blue jays. Glendale, Missouri

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.

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

Great to see the Cooper's Hawks back in our river valley, however the small birds, chipmunks and squirrels definitely wouldn't agree !!

Posing for a portrait on my fence.

Peace Valley Park bird blind. This fella dropped in and caught something on the other side of the fence yesterday. He then just sat there the whole time I was there. Thanx

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 female hawk stands perched on my backyard fence post. I took this image from inside the house not wanting to spook the bird. Even so, the hawk knew it was being watched. She and her mate made their well-camouflaged nest in one of my tall palm trees. So interesting to watch their movements throughout the day. A beautiful creature!

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. :)

One cold morning our sweet dog, Cooper, headed outside to drink some water. He seemed perplexed...staring at his bowl for quite a while. When he returned I noticed his water dish was full of frozen water. I just had to capture the liquid gold.

Cooper’s Hawk with Prey

 

I was outside in our backyard watering my plants when I heard a huge commotion of flapping wings and shrill cries of mourning doves and killdeer fleeing the area. The hawk made fast work of one the birds and let me get fairly close since it was guarding it’s dinner.
