Coopers Hawk Bluffing Squirrel

Large but immature Coopers Hawk is trying to scare off a squirrel who may have never seen a hawk. I watched and the squirrel was curious and went below the hawk on the rail the boards are fastened too. The hawk then threatened until the squirrel went lower to pass. Actually, the squirrels use the top of the fence to travel along the yard and everything else moves for them but the hawk didn't move. It was funny to watch but it was over when one or the other got bored. The hawk can and does something grab a squirrel and eats them.

Lost

Rain on the skylight. Pitter-patter. Not cold enough for snow or ice but nice to hear the rain. Read the story. I used to draw a lot.
