LOL...I was about to post the same picture Lisa. What a strange duo.

Yes!! And, did you notice that as soon as the SA did a poop shoot, the lil hawk did too?

Quite a size difference. Was that a little Coopers hawk?

It looks like it could be.

September 14, 2001, Tuesday, am -- Racoon -- Flyway

Not a great capture, but was fun to watch this am.

Yes, Ginger, the raccoon was fun to watch. Their dextrous little hands remind me of monkey hands.

Lisa and others, I'll wait for the hawk experts to ID the little one perching with the BE this morning. I'd guess too small for a Cooper's hawk. And the juvenile hawks have different looks from adults, too. So, experts, what say you?

Sandhill cranes have been serenading all morning, with some dancing behavior. Also a small group of sora wading and feeding. I had a sora in my backyard several years ago, when it was really wet and raining for a week. Cool wading bird.

Pic of several female wood ducks. Interesting to watch on the rewind.
