Nature's Way

A Cooper's Hawk (a juvenile, for the birders) devouring a pigeon- nature's way. (This was quite a sight for us passersby- not something usually seen on a front lawn downtown.)

A great shot of Natures way. although how unpleasant it is for us humans to see , each animal species including humans , kill to eat. A sparrow hawk caught and devoured a pigeon on my back lawn some months ago ! I picked up the camera , but my photo was not as clear as this . Wonderful clarity and focus - fav

@beryl Thank you, Beryl! Yes, I remember your photo. In fact, I was thinking of it when I came upon this hawk. Quite the sight isn't / wasn't it?

[Dawn]

Surely wouldn’t be a common sight but nature over and over

[Pyrrhula]

Great capture of life and nature. Fav.

[Joanne Diochon]

Not the most fun thing to see but a necessary part of nature (at least necessary if we are to have the proud and powerful looking hawks). Great capture.

[Ingrid]

That's life... great photo!

Nice clear capture, Heather. It's not something I like to see, but like you said, it's nature's way. All the feathers on the ground add a lot to the story.

[Heather]

@lynnz Thank you, Lynn! And so true about the feathers :(

[Yao RL]

We all have to eat, at least the Hawk did the hunt itself.

[Diana]

Super Nature shot telling natures story, definitely a FAV. Not been lucky enough to catch one - let alone this close. If, If I do would love it to either be soaring or chillin. Great shot though.

[Kate]

Truly just a fact of nature which we usually do not see

[carol white]
