Super Fluffy Cooper's Hawk on our Bird Bath!
[best appreciated at full size against black]
Steve and I are incredibly fortunate to live in such a lovely area of southern Oregon. We live about 25 minutes from the nearest town and there are perhaps 50 people in a mile radius from our house. It is very rural, very wild, and very close to nature here, and that means we get visits from many wild animals that stay away from urban areas.
This beautiful raptor is one of the several birds of prey in our area and every once in a while, a Cooper's or Sharp-Shinned Hawk will land on one of our bird feeders, our deck, or, as illustrated by my beautiful model, our bird bath! Steve and I are always amused at these silly birds. Do they actually think a bird will just fly into their beak? :D It's always a ghost town around here after the raptor flies away...for about five minutes, that is! Then it's back to little birdies yelling at each other about the best spot for eating, birds getting back to flinging seeds merrily to the doves on the ground below, and happiness returns! And if we're lucky, Steve or I will have gotten a picture like this to share with all of you! :) If you would like to know more about Sharp-Shinned Hawks, you can find a great source of information here: Wiki: Cooper's Hawk.
