Drove his evening for mental health and took the camera only to come home an hour or so later to see this - a juvenile Coopers' Hawk that landed on the neighbors fence, then into our yard... looking for dinner! He is not the same bird as last week (or earlier this week... who knows? - LOL). This guy has bright yellow eyes then other was more mature with darker eyes. I took this through the screen - I was maybe 6 feet away and talking to him and he couldn't care less - he was hungry -the soaker line scared him - thinking it was a snake, so he jumped up on the fence but he quickly realized no dinner here.
Year 7 on this adventure! I’m especially appreciative of the community found here! I am inspired by everyone; learning from so many. Your shares make...
@jernst1779@santina@shepherdmanswife Wow you guys! Thank you for the overwhelming response to this guy! Happy I could share him and that you enjoyed! Many thanks!
@sunnygreenwood thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed him - I give the crows peanuts and the scrub jays like to steal the peanuts to hide them and earlier in the day, I was tempting a scrub to take it from my hand. So When I went to the window which was open, I said to him, come take a peanut from my hand... ha not with those claws and beak! My husband said he'll get ya! ha ha nope! Beautiful to see - thankful he left my yard hungry though.
@sunnygreenwood@fbailey Wow you guys, amazing response! Thank you for the overwhelming response to this guy! Glad I could share him with you and that you enjoyed him too! He was amazing to see but I am thankful he left my yard hungry. Many thanks!

@vesna0210 Thank you! I had no idea! I'm happy I could share this beauty and that he did not get songbirds from my yard :-) Thank you again - most appreciated and for letting me know - I don't think I've ever had that happen before - what an honor to be amongst those photos!
