An update to this morning’s post on A Disturbance of the Peace.
Forget the Man-Made Traps.
Guess who’s visiting our backyard, on his perch, 10 feet above the bird feeders, waiting for his dinner. (45 minutes and counting)
Wow!
Thank you Eric Kanigan for the shots. Shots taken a few minutes ago from the 2nd floor.
Nature is a beautiful thing. . . And costs nothing. Looking forward to updates.
It is really is Ray….
Ayuh. That’ll do it.
Bring in the Cavalry!
Wow! I was gonna say great shots, David…
My bad. Great shots, Eric!!
Here, little rats.. come out, come out wherever you are…
Exactly!
Wow… Such a great coinkidink… 😉 Didn’t know you were in cahoots with birds of prey!
My network is wide and deep. I cry out in distress. And the Cavalry shows up.
See? You have such a fabulous network.
All about this amazing Pack. just Wow.
You have amassed quite the pack. Just sayin’
Wow…
Stunning shot, BEAUTIFUL bird.
Yes, so agree.
Observation:
1. He’s not young.
2. Looks like he took a dive in water.
Can Eric please try and take a photo of the bird’s backside?
Just so I’m clear on the order. You want Eric to go up to him, ask him to turn around, so Eric can take a picture of his a**? Do I have this right?
His shoulders, back of the wing, and tail, only if he turns. Eric knows what I mean.
Oh, from one Photographer to another. And bypass the clueless. Got it.

Oh God.
Dk the tail feathers help in the id process…
awwwwww……
I’m glad you mentionned this, Sawsan. I too thought that he looks as if coming back from a dive – now I have to find out the first part of this ‘story’….

🙂 I thought it went like that……. the answer is FOR the birds…. 😉
Exactly Kiki!!!!
The universe works itself out if we just let it be. (Great shots)
Yes, sure does.
Laser focus….
YES!
Wonderful shot of the Hawk, Eric…DK such a beautiful Enforcer of the Peace…
It is! He is!
Well, well, well, looks like there’s a *new* sheriff in town….
Boss has arrived.
Talented family…Susan’s video, and now more of Eric’s photography…
I’m hoping this is from the second floor of your abode, and not somewhere else. If your place, just WOW! Nature heard your distress call, so let life take its course, Wow!
Yes. 2nd floor. I took the screen off the bathroom window to give Eric a straight clear shot. All of it – Amazing.
Oh my goodness! What a treasure.
Really is!
Nature has it all sorted for you! I actually think the rats heard that you were about to bait them and they called in the Calvary!
Hmmmm. Or the Hawk (The Boss) heard you scolding me, and he arrived to clean-up.
Laughing, I like that version better 👏😊
Oh, I bet you do!!!
Much better than a man-made trap! You must have good karma to have had nature hear your plea and respond so quickly 🙂
It so is Mary! My Karma was rollin’ today!
Beautiful shots! Coopers Hawk?
No idea!!!! I need to look it up….
It’s lovely. Deadly, but lovely.
He/she does look fierce!
Wow!!
Right?!?!?!
Hahah…. Scotty arrived, David.. 🙂
Here’s hoping he’s real hungry… (Oh, that maybe ‘too soon’..)
Correct!!!!
Wow indeed! It’s amazing how we really notice nature at work these days. Great captures by Eric.
life finds a way…
and a great photo by Eric, by the way….
It really is. Thanks Jim.
It does…
Responding again looks like a juvenile Red Tail Hawk though the eye sockets look a bit different…and that must be one glorious Maple tree? you’re Maple is about a week behind mine…
No, not maple but I need to check, now
In case no one else has said it, you will have a whole new symphony of bird song in the back yard with that buffet line.
Let’s hope so!
