A young Cooper’s hawk stands upright, facing right, on a deck railing near the bird feeder post at far right.
Me? I’m just stopping here for a rest.
What? There’s a bird feeder on this deck? Gee, I hadn’t really noticed …

(They're Black Crakes, btw.)

Check out the eye on this yellow-shafted northern flicker! Today I learned that they have a nictating membrane to protect their eyes from flying debris while they dig for snacks. #birds
