Hey
I had just sat down to watch a race on the tube around 3:00pm today. when I saw something flyby..
I was up in time to see a Coopers hawk fly across the road and land in a tree .
Slippers on and Just a fleece jacket I head out to the sidewalk.. I tried both neighbours and nobody home.
The Accipiter is sitting in a tree behind the houses.. It sat there for ten minutes or so.. occasionally calling.. which was a surprise ..
Very nasal sounding,, Not kek, kek.. More like phent, phent phent.. A little while later a second Cooper's (mate?) flies over and they move on...
Very cool... It was an not an adult.. had brownish markings on its chest..and yellow eyes..
I did mess up... for some reason the camera was set at iso 1250... turned out too grainy.... Napper:roll:
