WOW!!!
i just had the most amazing experience!!
i was just sitting outside in my backyard while the dogs were running around. Without even seeing it coming, i felt a huge wing brush firmly across the top of my head and down the front of my face. i opened my eyes expecting to see a misguided crow next to me.
It wasn't a crow and it was definately no thanksgiving turkey!
Sitting next to me was an immature Cooper's Hawk!!
i could hardly believe my eyes! He actually sat immediately next to me for several minutes; even with the dogs rough housing in the yard. He then casually flew a few feet away on my wall. i was wishing like heck i had my camera nearby - wishing even more i actually owned a decent camera.
i gathered the dogs inside and ran out with my camera. i got just a couple pics of this awesome visitor before he flew away.
