Mr Cooper's Hawk goes fishing...

Mr and Mrs Cooper's Hawk have been back in the neighborhood for a week or so. They have been doing repair work on their nest. 

Today I saw Mister hunting in our neighbors yard, trying to catch little juncos it looked like. He flew into our yard and up onto the rocks by our koi pond. These pictures are pretty bad as I was in the house shooting through my not so clean windows etc etc etc. but here he is...



I was thinking he was going to get a drink and take a bath like he usually does...



right after I took this shot he took off and tried to grab one of the koi, missed , circled back and was going to try again. Of course the koi dove to the bottom of the pond and I, like a dope, tried to move to a different window , and he saw me so vamoosed out of there...

I can hear him explaining the whole thing to the Mrs...can't you?

  1. That would have been a bummer if he would have caught one! They must be fun to watch.
