Graphic with a photo of a Cooper's Hawk sitting in a bird bath. Text above says "That Awkward moment when you get in the pool and everyone else immediately gets out." A speech bubble from the hawk says: Hey Guys! Come back! I was just kidding about peeing in the pool. I swear!

Have a great weekend friends! Stay cool and don't pee in pools! 🪶

Hahahahaha!!!

Yay! Thanks for letting us know! So glad they are useful to you. 🩷
