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:-)))
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.
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.

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.
A stupid question a Cooper's Hawk asks as all the little birds scatter. Not the kind of backyard visitor you like to see around your feeders. Bill's Backyard Bird Blind
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.
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.
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
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. :)
Had a wonderful day today folks with the Bald Eagles which is always a thrill and very exciting to see and to photograph as you will see soon.
Here is where he landed on top of his prey and there are many images to show but will not post them at this time.
Thank you all for stopping by, commenting and all the kind words, much appreciated.
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.
