It is a circle of life in the nature, sad to know about this matter. However, the predators need to eat.
What we can do that Keep small pets out of their way, even though the cooper hawks will not attack pets if not hungry.
The cooper hawk has several distinct characters:
- biggish head
- lighter nape of neck
- and rounded tail

This is really a magnificent bird of prey!
ReplyDeleteWhere I live there are mainly kestrels and buzzards - and I always hope that they let the songbirds live and prefer field mice 😉...

We have a bunch of hawks around here but I haven't seen one like this. They definitely scare away the birds and squirrels.

This hawk looks like it is pretty big in size. We do have a lot of hawks, especially at the farm where the irrigation is going constantly. I don't really know the difference in the different kinds...would be something good for me to learn.
ReplyDeletethanks for your post, have a nice weekend
ReplyDeleteSo pretty.
