20201210 8593 SERIES - Coopers Hawk (1).jpg

Our Yard

Two thru-the-kitchen-window images of a Cooper's Hawk chasing a squirrel up and down a tall spruce tree. The image quality is not the greatest, but, I liked the fast action and I was pleased to get at least some of the action. B.T.W. the squirrel got away and I haven't seen the hawk back since.

Top image: The hawk taking a little break, but still looking.


The chase resumes.

Neat action shots and through a window. I'm not surprised the squirrel got away as it's built for running in a tree.

Great you were able to capture some of the action! It must have been fascinating to watch (and I'm glad the squirrel got away).
