Description

I have one less bird in my yard now, but was fascinated and even honored to be able to observe this juvenile Cooper's Hawk outside my front door last week. There is a necessary balance of nature between predator and prey. Only the healthiest and strongest survive, and they then reproduce the best of their species. Thank you very kindly for your recent views, comments, and faves. They are very much appreciated.

Great shot. As expected, this looks really good at full size. The coloring of his feathers and the detail throughout is magnificent.

Brillant capture. We have a Marsh Hawk that comes visit for the last 2 summers. When he's around the small birds disappear but the Stellar Jays stay and take him on. I have tryed to get shots of them but it all happens so fast.
