Spot the... Cooper's Hawk
Difficulty: easy if you've seen my previous posts... otherwise medium
That's my house in the top right corner of the first photo. Great birding from the Parkdale Urban Wildlife Refuge 💚

Cooper's Hawk
Taking a brief rest from hunting pigeons while the pigeons also rested on the other side of the building.

Cooper's Hawk
The Coop pursued a single pigeon that strayed from the safety of the flock.

When the pigeons are in a panic it only means that there's a predator about...
This time it was an adult Cooper's Hawk

During a power outage from the Russian attacks, an elderly lady with a flashlight selects seeds from a catalog to order them via post and plant in the spring.

"That's all you need to know about faith in the future," the writing on the video says.

Dark-eyed Junco
Enjoying the conditions that describe their nickname... "Snow Bird".

More photos of the American Goldfinch trio that spent the whole day in the tops of my back yard Birch trees. They seemed a lot more relaxed in the blustery, snowy conditions.

These American Goldfinches spent the whole day in the tops of my back yard Birch trees. They're in plain view but their camouflage made them very hard to spot sometimes.

These American Goldfinches spent the whole day in the tops of my back yard Birch trees. There's only a few million seeds to feed from so maybe they'll spend a lot of the winter here.

Spot the... American Goldfinches
Great camouflage amongst the yellow leaves.
A little bit of second floor window birding into my back yard Birch trees.
Difficulty: ultra hard
There's actually 3 of them but I could only find one in the photo
