Have a great weekend everyone stay safe! :)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Thanks for your visit, faves and/or comments.

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

Cooper's Hawk

Accipiter cooperii

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. :)

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!

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.

I was roaming around photographing flowers with my 100-400 lens when all of a sudden I heard screeching above me. I hurried to where I thought the sound was coming from, looked up and fired off a couple shots. No time to change my shutter speed, hence movement in the tail as he was shaking it.
