Well captured Steve where there are by birds and a feeder, a coopers is near by.

Ready to pounce, cracking set Steve.

Great set Steve.

Waiting...waiting....N​ice set Steve. I had a Coopers in my yard yesterday it left a pile of Dove feathers.

Wonderful captures Steve.

Thank you Ted! Yes, the extended food chain does exist.

Much appreciated Joe, and yes, pounce at a moments notice.

You know it Craig! I find at least a couple of dove feather piles a week. I appreciate the kind words too.

Many thanks Lester!

You're not feeding him enough Steve, he looks scrawny! Good catch though, although the little birds don't always agree, I love seeing a raptor (usually here it's a Sharpie) staking out my yard.

Excellent shots Steve, well done.

Very nice shots Steve. We have Broad-Winged Hawks around our property and more often than not, the numerous piles of feathers are gray. I am believe most are (were) Doves. Raptors have to eat too, I guess!!

Haha Ian, I guess the Siskin diet has him slim and trim
Just this morning I saw him fly through a flock of fleeing Siskins and nab one without changing wingbeats. I thought he missed but my binocs proved otherwise.
Always appreciate your comments and humor my friend.

Thank you Red. I had a pretty subject with which to work.

I appreciate the compliment Mark. I know we have Broad-winged around here, but I've never seen them.
