We've had a small family of Cooper's hawks nearby for the last couple of years, and this year they have begun hunting close to the house. The juveniles have been catching bugs in the back yard.

Ah MANNNNNNNN you lucky dog! Thats an opportunity for a guy with a new camera that dont come along often :eyebrow:
Nice pics.

Nice captures. I would probably be bug hunting and throwing them all over my yard if I had visitors like you do.

Yeah! What they said! Nice pics!
Beautiful birds and nice pics
Nice pics - I was looking for the tethers thinking you were out with a falconer.
The hawks were talking this evening just before dusk, and caught this guy having a stretch just before bed.
