Next door neighbor called me over to see this, I think it's a Cooper Hawk(?), It was just sitting in their birdbath for half an hour. It didn't even flinch when I walked kind of close to it, about 15 feet away. After 30 minutes it just turned and flew away.

A beautiful morning, too bad I'm stuck at home recovering from catching some sort of stomach flu.

What’s funny is a couple of hummingbirds flew towards the birdbath and when they saw the hawk they both did a hard left turn and made a wide detour around it.

We get a Cooper's hawk in our neighborhood every summer. We can tell when it's close by, as the crows and bluejays will go bonkers.

Very fascinating watching the hawk hunt. It flies fast and level a few feet above the ground, pops up over a fence or shrub and grabs the unsuspecting bird, usually a grackle or robin. Pulls it to the ground, plucks the feathers and hauls it off to the nest somewhere.

Those are the older wiser ones, the young ones chase the smaller birds and crash right into the bushes after them at great speed. It is amazing how fast they can turn and weave.

They’d have to be big ass mounds; our nearest neighbors are 2-3 miles away.

Why go to all that trouble?

Just throw some fish guts out the back door and turn on the porch light.

You can't rush taking a really big dump.

I thought they were French deer. Looks like they might make good soup.

I thought they were Siamese deer when I first seen the picture.
