    I am sorry for so many pictures, I was so excited when I was taking them, I just had to share. Yesterday the Cooper's hawk had lunch at the bird pergola and at least today he flew away empty beaked..

    What a handsome bird Sherry. Neither wonder you got excited!! I just missed a shot of the sparrowhawk that visited my garden today as my camera batteries ran out just at the wrong moment. :(

    A gorgeous series of portraits, Sherry. That beautiful bird has character in his face.
