I’ve come to the conclusion that I spend too much time photographing woodpeckers. It’s hard to resist these handsome Hairy Woodpeckers when they’re this personable.

I think this is a Cooper’s Hawk.
One of the downsides of enjoying wildlife is the circle of life is always present. Sorry little chipmunk 😕
