On The Lookout


I heard this hawk up in a locust tree before I saw it. It was well hidden and was looking very alert. Five minutes later it was sitting there eating a pigeon. I will spare you those pics. I think it is a Coopers Hawk but am not sure.

Great shot of the hawk. They are good hunters so I'm not surprised this one found something to attack.

Hello, :=) A beautiful raptor, and a very good photo. Thanks for sparing us the gruesome details of it's catch.
All the best.

It looks good and is probably well fed on pigeons that must be easy enough to catch.

What a great photo of this Cooper's hawk. I think the Sharp Shine Hawk is slightly smaller with a smaller head.
