Have a great weekend everyone stay safe! :)

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.

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:-)))

He was playing park greeter, right at the circle.

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

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

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 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.

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. :)

Cooper enjoying the morning sun!

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.
