Lucky enough to catch this Cooper’s Hawk after his snack. I always enjoy watching them cleanup, beak and talons afterwards.
#TalonTuesday #Birds #Raptor
A Cooper’s hawk perched on a tree branch in the middle of eating its prey, with vibrant yellow blossoms in the background. The hawk’s sharp features, including its barred breast and piercing orange-yellow eyes, are clearly visible, contrasting with the dark, lichen-covered bark of the branch. A Cooper’s hawk perched on a tree branch, actively tearing into its prey, with bright yellow blossoms partially framing the scene. The hawk’s sharp beak and focused gaze highlight its predatory nature, while the lichen-covered bark adds texture to the image.

Yellow blossoms in the foreground and background create a vibrant frame, contrasting with the hawk’s muted, patterned feathers.

#WaderWednesday love it when iPhone photos turn out like this! This was a random sighting, just out for a walk with family and ran across this guy last year. #birds

Happy #FlyDay - Ospreys doing some nest building! Fenwick Island, Delaware. #birds

Have a great Friday everyone!
Two ospreys are perched on a wooden platform while building a nest. One osprey is standing on the nest, observing, while the other is hovering just above, grasping a branch in its talons to add to the nest structure. The nest is constructed with sticks and branches, resting on a man-made support structure against a clear blue sky.
