This hawk sat in the tree watching my bird feeders for about 30 minutes. The hawk was anticipating being able to catch a meal, but not this day. As the hawk waited it seemed very content doing some grooming.
This hawk is likely a Cooper's Hawk but could be a Sharp-Shinned Hawk which is very similar.

Wow! So beautiful! I think the wildest animal living in my backyard is my pitbull terrier, hahaha. But to be fair, he's a sweetheart too.
I remember some months ago, a family of wild macaws came to live in one of our avocado trees, they were beautiful but they didn't stay long, I never saw them again. My dog was actually scared of them.
Nice video, I wish you a blessed new year <3

My goal for the day is to post my Citizen Science report of my bird counts that I will turn into Cornell University's Lab of Ornithology. I am going through the pictures right now.
Stay tuned!

Estas bellas rapaces son magníficas, me encanta esa técnica de vuelo casi que perfecta a la hora de cazar sus presas.

Yes, they are magnificent birds of prey. On Sunday, the hawk caught a Darkeyed Junco (a small bird) at my bird feeders.
Happy New Year!!
Steem on,
