Juvenile Cooper's Hawk ~ This Goes Out to Maryclaire...









Taken on three different occasions... we get a fairly good look at his markings, particularly that gorgeous tail. The last two photos, taken during a snowstorm, had him remaining in each position for close to two hours... watching feeding songbirds but, happily, not partaking of them.

Next up, is a little bird that first found our yard late last winter (March) and she came back even earlier this year!

Bobbie ~ I'm still amazed at his markings... chest, back, tail... spectacular bird of prey and one with which I was unfamiliar. Imagine him showing up in my backyard!

Carol ~ I'm still amazed, and somewhat humbled, that I've been able to spend winter with this handsome fellow!
