I’ve misplaced the chord to hook my camera up to my computer and can’t download any
pictures- plus we haven’t done much hiking due to an ongoing health issue (long story). And I have so many pretty
pictures of Autumns past that I've never touched up (my camera really isn’t capable of capturing the glories of a fall day without
a little help) that I thought I might do a bit of that now.
This
is a picture of a Cooper’s Hawk that was hunting small birds in an area I was walking
one day a few years back. I was shocked to be as close as I was as it was a heavily
populated area and there were quite a few people just a few feet away, but it seems that he
was on the immature side and hadn’t learned the finer points of discretion.
What
I should have done is make a video of his behavior because the Cooper’s Hawk is
really quite amazing to watch. But we’ll just enjoy his pose for today.
