Christmas Hawk Visit
I'm taking this as a good holiday/new year omen that one of the Cooper Hawks in the hood graced us with a visit in our front tree. It was a little on the small side, so I'm guessing it is one of the kids that hatched this summer. Bad thing was that my 'serious - big gun - mega pixel/zoom' camera was not loaded with batteries, so I grabbed my compact camera. The hawk shared the holiday spirit by letting my get close enough to snap a few pics.
