Excellent photos, Neil—marvelous light! I love how the images provide a whole context, the bird high up in the tree, zooming in to gradually reveal more detail, then close up images to really allow us to appreciate its intricacies.
Thank you, Neil. This is a beautiful photo and poetry write up. I would agree with you that this is the year of the Cooper’s Hawk for you. You have gifted all of us with your ongoing observations.
Thanks Heidi and much appreciated. I have been very fortunate this year with these encounters withe Cooper's Hawks. Definitely not something I had expected!
the truth is when a hunter hunted for food not as now for sport
So true, Janoskar.
Hunter and hunted, searcher and searched for. Only humans search for Self. What is it?
An interesting question, Michael!
"What Truth connects the Hunter and the Hunted on this morning?"
A beautiful (and timely) question. Thank you, Neil.
You're welcome, Ann and thanks as well.
This is a good omen, Neil.
Thanks Perry and I think so, too.

Thanks, James and much appreciated! I was fortunate to have that Cooper's Hawk pose ouy in the open like that just after Sunrise.

They are totemic for you, Neil. You’ve also helped me improve my own id skills as we have them in my area.
Agreed, Heidi and I hadn't thought of that. They're really fascinating to observe and learn about.
Love that fourth picture with the side light hitting the hawk!
Thanks, Sean - I was really luck with the sunlight and this Cooper's Hawk being a patient subject!
A deep question posed Neil, lovely
Thanks, Emma and much appreciated.
Such a cool read. Sent to my girlfriend as she would love something like this. Thanks for sharing. 🙏
Thanks and much appreciated!
