Coopers Hawks are back in town

We took the dogs on our normal walk today, and we saw this …

Female Coopers Hawk sunning herself.

If I had brought my camera along, as I had been recently, I could have gotten a shot of a second, smaller Coopers in the tree above.

Moral of the story? Never leave home without a telephoto lens in springtime.

    What a wonderful encounter, Amy. (I hear you on the “don’t leave home without the camera” front. Next time!)
