I was just commenting to Phil that I had not seen a Cooper’s Hawk in our yard in a long time. They frequently like to hang out in the trees near our bird feeders, looking for their next meal. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
And then this beautiful hawk landed on a branch nearby and I was able to take some nice photos, even through the window. He stayed for a bit, but then flew away when he realized there were no birds anywhere nearby.
We had quite a few Hummingbirds at the beginning of the summer and then none for many weeks, so we were excited when this Ruby-throated Hummingbird came back this week.
She’s been hanging around the hummingbird feeder and flowers quite a bit, but I really liked this photograph of her resting on a branch in the tree.
What do you think?
I was enjoying the evening view at the Nauset Light Beach overlook when I heard a bit of chatter in the brush. I looked up and there were two Eastern Kingbirds perched on top of the rose bush. I already had my phone out, so I clicked away and only got 2 photos before they flew away.
Have you ever seen a Kingbird?
