Cooper's Hawk for Breakfast

[Rassie]

Breakfast in two ways: I sat down at the kitchen table this morning with breakfast and the camera. The idea was to review some of my customized settings on the camera after finishing breakfast. I looked out the kitchen sliding glass door and saw my resident Cooper's Hawk perched in its favourite spot in the tree, with its own breakfast. It may have caught the bird at the feeder in the backyard minutes earlier. Nice start to the day.

Some of the branches in the image are white because the squirrels strip the bark for nesting material.

Thank you, sir.

You have great breakfast companions Nice shot, Rassie.

Thanks, Steven. We see hawks (Red-tailed and Cooper's) around the forest at my backyard on average once per week. In summer we seldom see them due to all the foliage. This one seems to have taken a liking to my bird feeder.
