Almost Mid-December

I'm still stuck on my Hawks that frequent the backyard for an attempt at a snack. I think I have a very consistent or should I say persistent Cooper's Hawk that comes around to check things out.


The problem with the Hawk this time is that if you sit on top of the feeders waiting for the finch's, juncos, etc., to show they never will with you being right there! Of course I have witnessed a Cooper's go flying into a shrub and come out with a bird in its talons. Pretty amazing!

I have also added in a shot of Mourning Dove taking in the late morning sun while sitting on tree just outside the kitchen window. They come in and eat up insects, etc and some of the food I put out. I haven't picked up their favorite food in a while so maybe before Christmas as a treat.

Speaking of that wonderful day....it is just around the corner and we have been watching some shows, of course classics like Charlie Brown, Rudolph and more recent movie types such as Elf, Fred Claus and just last night went back in time to catch Home Alone! Was a good time watching with the family.

Enjoy the shots, be safe and I will post hopefully before Christmas!
