Big Birds
One morning I saw three hawks. The first one was perched on a bare tree branch:
The next hawk was on top of a saguaro cactus:
Here is the same bird from behind:
The third hawk (another Cooper's) was on a telephone pole.
Well, that's all for now. Have a wonderful day. :)

A beautiful bird.
Kind regards,

You take such beautiful pictures. The hawks have been really active around my area recently too.
I love your recent shot of Tyler.
How exciting! Hawks are incredible birds. Great shots!
adorable birds! i love their lovely plumage!
great shots!
Hello Diane!
Very beautiful your Big Birds!"
Magnific!!!
Interesting. I haven't seen for awhile any Big Bird, (seagulls don't count like big, right?) How did you manage to shoot them from behind too? Imagine you have skills like Indian to get invisible ;)
Siga, Seagulls are big to me! The birds I usually see are the size of doves or smaller. These hawks just stayed put even while I took pictures. I didn't see them fly.
Diane, have you seen the 'free-flight' of Harris' Hawks at the Desert Museum?
That's a lot of hawks to see in one morning! Perching atop a cactus looks a little ouchy!
Lovely photos.
Tom, yes about 15 years ago I saw a "free-flight" show at the Desert Museum. I love that place!
Nice shots. We have some open land around here where the hawks hang out, usually on electric poles.
That's amazing - three hawks in one day!!
Ooooh! Amazing sightings :-)
What magnificent birds.
To szczęście w jednym dniu zobaczyć trzy takie piękne ptaki. Pozdrawiam. *** We were lucky in one day to see three of these beautiful birds. Yours.
The one on the cactus looks a little prickly! You had a hawk bonanza on that day.
How wonderful to see these!
i always love seeing hawks but have not photographed them lately as close as yours, you are so lucky to have such diverse wildlife, each time i visit your blog, i love the desert more and more.
Beautiful captions! We have only type of hawk where we live...
Hi, Diane;
Found you through Janey's blog. Popped over to enjoy some lovely pics from sunny AZ. I'm headed your way next month for a week long trail ride. Can't wait for some summer-like weather!
Absolutely amazing....
I have a beautiful Coopers Hawk that is helping with my rodent population.
cheers, parsnip
The cactus never hurts. The hawk is strong.
Wow, you really hit the trifecta! Aren't they magnificent? Your photos are pretty magnificent, too.
Must be plentiful dining there; great sightings!
Hello! I love Your photos!
HI Diane, Happy Super Bowl Sunday to you. May the best team win!!! I personally am for the Giants --but I truly just hope it is a good game. Anxious to see some great commercials also!!!
Great pictures of the hawks. Bet they were all looking for something delicious to eat!!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
I do love raptors. I enjoy birds of all kinds but there is something about these areal predators that appeals to me.
You must have a really great lens, Diane! These are fantastic shots..
Love these. Reminds me of Disney's The Living Desert and the bobcat balanced at the top of a saquaro. Happy memory. I loved that movie as a child and still have the book.
Beautiful images..I wish there was a little warmer here in Sweden..Hugs
Splendid takes from the desert. Thanks for sharing.
Seeing three hawks is one thing. Capturing great images of all three is quite another, and quite an accomplishment!
Amazing photos. You must be a very patient person. How long did you wait to capture each shot at just the right moment?
Hi Norma, Thank you for your comment. I was lucky that the birds were already there and I didn't have to wait. :)
These are nice pic's of hawks,
As they are resting in sun light.
Perfect shots.
Actual Exams
so beautiful Diane!
they are simply beautiful!
