Hi Bangtree! Sorry it took awhile for me to comment. I have a hobby/work project that keeps me super-busy around high school graduation time each year, and that would be.... like, right now! You are getting some really nice shots of the hawks. (And, by the way, I got a much better look at them now that Pop made some suggestions. Pop is the *very best* administrator we could have, and set this whole forum up for us!) I wish you could have taken a selfie of yourself with the lens propped up on a banana. That would be a keeper! The first year I was watching Rufous & Henrietta, I only had a little "point & click" camera. I would get someone to hold binoculars up & aim the camera to get a pic through the binoc lens. And thinking about names for your hawks.... I'm honored to be the one to suggest names! Three years ago when Rufous brought a new young female on board to replace Henrietta, forum member Patticake named her Roxie. I can think of no better names for your hawks than Gary and Alice, as your friend suggested! I'm looking forward to your next post!

That last picture is a familiar view! I have seen some of R4's pics that look very much the same. R4 knows those tail feathers better than anyone.

I laughed when I saw those tail feathers sticking out of the nest. Never enough room for an entire mom Cooper's hawk! Great photos!
