This Cooper's Hawk is watching something. To quote Mick Hardy, "It had something cornered in the quince bush and walked around and around, dove down the middle and finally, just fluffed up and sat for a while. Interesting to watch it stalk something we never saw."
This is a most frustrated hawk. Whatever it was chasing has it stumped!
It finally left the bush and retreated to a tree from where it kept an eye on the offending bush for a while. Our thanks to Mick and Connie Hardy for their observations and pictures of this hawk.
This is another "C" Hawk, although in the case "C" could stand for Cooper's or Christmas. On Christmas Day, we spotted this immature Cooper's Hawk on the Christmas star atop a neighbor's flag pole. The light was terrible, but we couldn't resist getting a picture of our Christmas Hawk, sitting on a symbol of Christmas.
