I scrolled down so no one had to see it if they didn't want to. I have 7 bird feeders. They each hold 5#'s of food. We go through hundreds of pounds of cracked corn and sunflower seeds. We also keep suet feeders up. This is a Cooper's Hawk butt I also have a pair of Red Tailed Hawks. They have never made a kill close enough to the house for pictures.
The hawk guarded its kill by constantly checking for danger. When this was going on... there wasn't another single bird to be seen.
This happened the morning that all of this snow started falling. It was right under the window and below two of my feeders.
Look at that beautiful face and those deadly talons!!! The actual kill took only seconds.
Two days ago it made another kill in the same place, butt it instantly flew off to eat it in the front yard. I know this was not a very pretty post, butt we bird lovers do understand that this is part of the cycle of life.

lol! the olympics are a far far ways from here--the opposite end of the country! so you won't see us unfortunately ;-)
i don't know how to go about getting a book--wouldn't a publisher have to contact me or something like that? and i am not sure too many people would want to buy a book full of wolfhound pictures. probably not a good investment for a publisher ;-) hehehe
Hi Frankie
That is pretty cool Frankie. A very magnificent creature.

Those are great pictures! We don't get to see anything like that here. Of course, the bird feeders were knocked over by the dogs and all the bird seed was smashed into the ground, so that could have something to do with it. Thanks for sharing the photos!
Awesome
