As close as I could get…

For CMMC – February Close Up

I guess this is a Cooper’s Hawk – My guest last weekend, was perched on the tree in my backyard for almost an hour… Sat still throughout, only moved it’s head in all possible ways! I clicked many pictures of the same but found only one bright claw in all my captures… left me wondering…

“The sharp thrill of seeing them [ birds] reminded me of childhood happiness, gifts under the Christmas tree, perhaps, a kind of euphoria we adults manage to shut out most of the time. This is why I bird-watch, to recapture what it’s like to live in this moment, right now.” – Lynn Thomson

Set the child in you free! Have a lovely day…
