Today: A Coopers Hawk at the Sacramento Wildlife Refuge. #CoopersHawk #BirdWatching #BirdPhotography

This morning watched a big Cooper's Hawk fly right overhead; closely pursued by two #hummingbirds buzzing after her hell-for-leather. Normally accipiters are the one group of hawks that doesn't get constantly harassed by smaller birds - because they are more maneuverable and apt to turn the tables - but hummingbirds are just flatly not concerned!

I was away for most of the day and when I returned, the jelly I had put out was gone. So I staked out that feeder and found some #baltimoreorioles. This is the 3rd yr in a row that they have returned on May 2. The #Coopershawk also returned. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #nature #photography

There are always a few Cooper’s Hawks living in the tall trees of the CCSF campus, and we currently have one with a very quirky personality: He is EXTREMELY talkative. He has a favorite tree and will just sit there and SCREE! SCREE! SCREE! He’ll also do it while just circling around. Is he just telling everyone this is his territory? #birdwatching #coopershawk
The #coopershawk flew at the #goldfinches on the feeder, causing them to scatter. One hit the sliding glass doors nearby and knocked itself out. The hawk picked it up and flew off with dinner. #birds #birding #nature #photography #birdsofmastodon

I always enjoy stepping outside & listening to the surround-sound Avian Chorus. This Perpetual Journal art depicts just a few of the birds we hear regularly in our yard!

In the woods.
This cooper's hawk was around a while back and I had the opportunity to get several photographs. This one was just inside the wooded area behind my property.
"Life is tricky for male Cooper’s Hawks. As in most hawks, males are significantly smaller than their mates. The danger is that female Cooper’s Hawks specialize in eating medium-sized birds. Males tend to be submissive to females and to listen out for reassuring call notes the females make when they’re willing to be approached. Males build the nest, then provide nearly all the food to females and young over the next 90 days before the young fledge." - allaboutbirds.org

In the wild.
This is a Cooper's hawk flying past. At first, I didn't like this composition but it's growing on me. I wanted the top of the pine tree in the picture.
"Cooper's Hawks capture prey using the element of surprise, perching quietly, then bursting from cover on foot or zipping through dense vegetation on the wing in pursuit. They prey almost exclusively on small to mid-sized birds, ranging from American Robins and Northern Flickers to Mourning Doves." -abcbirds.org

Over there looks more comfortable.
This cooper's hawk obviously felt that I was crowding its personal space.
"The crow-sized Cooper's Hawk is a raptor of the woodlands, with short, rounded wings and a long tail — excellent adaptations for pursuing smaller birds through thick understory. Folk names for this forest stalker include big blue darter, chicken hawk, striker, and swift hawk. It's named after the naturalist William Cooper, one of the founders of the New York Lyceum of Natural History (now the New York Academy of Sciences)." - abcbirds.org

A Hawk's Stare.
This cooper's hawk was around a few weeks ago. I haven't seen it again though. Luckly, when it was here, I took a lot of photographs.
"In many traditions, hawks are sacred: Apollo's messengers for the Greeks, sun symbols for the ancient Egyptians and, in the case of the Lakota Sioux, embodiments of clear vision, speed and single-minded dedication." - John Burnside

A #CoopersHawk has been hanging around, trying to find prey in the yard, without much luck so far. Yesterday, he took a seat on the camera, and then this fun photo came about. It is a good example to learn one of the features of the Cooper’s Hawk - its rounded tail feathers and the broad white tail tip.

one of the local coopies (possibly digesting something?) on the steeple of the nearby church. one of the bridge apartments is visible in the distance
