A Good Morning... For Me At Least

Hi Folks, yesterday morning I was having my usual coffee while looking out my front window at my favourite resident Mockingbird.  When all of a sudden, the House Sparrows started freaking out.  I could heard them but not see them.  They were all hiding inside my neighbours hedge and the hedge was shaking.  Out comes this guy, empty handed.  I rushed out with my camera, my undies and my bathrobe and took these shots from the sidewalk.  My neighbours weren't impressed, but I'm content. ;)

It wasn't the best light, but beggars can't be choosers.  It's my first Cooper's.

I had this bird identified here:

You can always get new neighbours, but you cant always get a good picture of a hawk.  Thanks for the laugh and the great pictures.

Sometimes you need a little help to get the best shot.
