Three Harris's Hawks

When doves, quail and all else exploded from the bird feeder, I imagined the local Cooper's Hawk had made another surprise visit over our house.

Grabbing my camera, I went to capture the 'remains.'

No remains, no Cooper's Hawk, but three Harris's Hawks were perched at the gable end of our neighbor's house... empty handed.

I'm fairly sure they saw me standing below, but for the longest time they didn't mind my interest in them.

When one adult flew away, it was quickly followed by the other.

That left, I believe, a juvenile, judging by the crying and screaming.

S/he, too, was free to leave, but remained minutes more... leaving hungry.

They are welcome back any time, however dinner here is pot-luck.
