Awesome photos and story of a great encounter. Always special when one aspect of nature alerts you to another

Thanks James. Those nature alerts are like an another language in some ways. Once I learned to stop and listen, I have been able to seen and experience so much more on my hikes. It is something I am still learning though!

I love these walks! The photos, your elegantly simple but profound commentary. The ripples spread out to all your readers.

Beautiful post and encounter with a cooper's hawk, Neil! I love the third photo with his feathers ruffled and tail spread.
