Cooper's Hawk

First, let me apologize for the images being rotated, Photoshop was being finicky and uncooperative.

We were sitting at the dinner table this evening when this young Coopers Hawk flew in. He landed on out old picnic table just off the back deck. We watched him for a second before we grabbed the camera.

He initially landed on the table looking towards the house. Transferring from both legs to one leg.



He saw something in the grass, and we thought he would jump down to get whatever it was.






He watched it for a few minutes, then hopped down.



He hung around for quite a while before flying next door. The rest of the little birdies in the neighborhood were very alarmed and concerned about this guy.

We thought he was sweet though!
