Where's Waldo ~ Day 306

Yesterday I was out on my deck snapping photos of the bees on my sedum. That seems to be where most of the action is in my backyard right now. All of a sudden I heard what sounded like a swoosh sound fly into my tulip poplar tree. I thought oh my goodness, what was that. I had my camera so I started looking through the lens, from the deck. And I saw him looking back at me. I wasn’t close enough to get a crisp shot but I zoomed and got close enough to identify him. A Cooper’s Hawk. They are beautiful. They fly around looking for small mammals usually. I turn my heard when that happens. It was so cool to see this so unexpectedly. This is why you must always be ready when you are out in nature. Even in my backyard I never know what I will see. So, do you see him?

I was able to see his yellow eye. This means he is a juvenile. When he reaches adult stage, his eye will turn red. Now tell me that is not so cool.
