Winter Nature

We've seen a Cooper's Hawk in our backyard during the winter months. It's been doing a number on the rabbits and birds. Tuesday it mauled some kind of bird on our deck railing leaving a bloody feathery mess.

I don't mind really, animals are amazing to watch. I wish the hawk much success thinning the population of rabbits. Maybe a few squirels too!

So I was surprised Wednesday to get these pictures of a Golden Eagle in an email. I don't know who took the pictures or where but Thank You just the same. What an awesome display of nature.
