Our Cooper’s Hawk has no problem walking around our main patio in search of a tender lizard or other small critter.

We occasionally have a feathered killer visit our yard. This Cooper’s Hawk frequents the big mesquite trees and tall eucalyptus tree in the garden areas between our casita and the main residence. He or she is an ambush hunter swooping down on unsuspecting doves & quails that feast below the nyjer seed feeder. We know it has been successful when we fined feathers all over our small lawn.

“Don’t mind me. I’m just sitting here waiting for something to move.”
