This is the second day in a row this Cooper's Hawk has visited my yard. Presumably, it is attracted by the birds that gather around my bird feeders.

Thanks.
Fantastic photos!
Thanks J. Those talons look pretty menacing.
Terrific series, Keith! I especially love the third photo!
Thanks. These photos were taken from about 30 feet away. Prior to yesterday, I don't think I have ever seen one in my yard before.
Great shots Keith, I have never been close to one in the wild.
