LUCKY CHANCE

I took several photos with my birding rig, through the oval pane (about 4" wide) in the center of the window. This is the best image, very slightly cropped:

A Cooper's Hawk, probably a female, was devouring a White-winged Dove, less than 30' from my front door! She looked right at me, several times, and flew away with the left overs, after about 5 minutes posing. An experience I won't forget. Thanks for looking.

They gotta eat too. I've not had as much activity from them this year for some reason. Nice capture, Mike.
