The New Hotness

  • Cooper’s Hawk: Digesting

    This Cooper’s Hawk (*) kept an eye on us as we walked down the driveway:

    Coopers Hawk - keeping an eye on us
    Coopers Hawk – keeping an eye on us

    We obviously pose no threat, so he let us pass unmolested.

    I think the real reason had more to do with the dark brown-red stains on his (?) claws: that hawk just ate a fine meal and wanted time for quiet digestion and contemplation…

    Hand-held Canon SX230HS, plenty of zoom, lots of purple fringing, and a cooperative bird.

    (*) A juvenile, obviously, who could be either a Cooper’s or a Sharp-Shinned Hawk.
