You gotta love when you are blessed with that kind of company and they seem like they’re waiting for you to take a few pictures. That’s a hawk right? I don’t think I’ve seen one so close before. Beautiful

That’s so freaking neat! Are you in a woodsy area? We see them in the city (not like a huge city by any means but a punch of stores and houses and stuff). No woods super nearby, but I think the closest I saw was landing on a neighbor’s roof. I always wanted to live somewhere small out in mostly woods or at least out of the city. Seems like it would be very peaceful.

Nice shots of a Cooper's Hawk with its stripey tail.

Hawks around my place are pretty common. They are fun to see, and often have nests in the redwood and pine trees near my house.

I am a huge fan of all birds of prey. That is a gorgeous Cooper's. Years ago we had a peregrine falcon try to snatch a small bird from our apple tree. He missed but what an awesome thing to see up close.
