Could this be Beauty on FCT?

It could be-I see the dark shape of a falcon on the southeast cube in by the structure. 

Nice photos, MAK, but I think your Cooper's Hawk is actually a Red-Shouldered Hawk.  I dunno what your dark one is, though.

Ya know what Patti-I was questioning myself when I decided Coopers Hawk. I thought it might be a Red-shouldered but I'm not so hot at IDing hawks especially since I have no field book with me here in Arkansas. I knew someone would correct me.

 

Day 5 in Paradise featured Red-tailed Hawks(my favorite) and interesting signs. In my search for the Golden Eagle I believe I saw yesterday I came across Guinea hens,roosters,sparrows,a Red-headed Woodpecker which gave me fits trying to capture on my camera and more. I took a walk out in the pasture in front of the house amongst the heifers and dodged all the meadow muffins scattered about like land mines and made my way down in the holler behind the house. The weather here today was the same as every other day since I've been here-wall to wall sunshine with warm temps in the 60's and 70's. Yeah, I'm smiling!

I'm hoping it got recorded on my DVR at home. 

 

 

"Get in this box and bow to me!

Wonder if he treats Pigott like this too. ???


Has anyone ever seen him bring in prey to Pigott?

I believe he has. He takes much better care of her than he does Beauty.

DC has brought plenty of prey to Pigott at BS. As little as I've been able to go over there I've seen him bring food to Pigott more than I've seen him bring it to Beauty. 

Day 4 in Paradise brought me 3 hawks to watch as they rode the therms. Whiskers, the last of the outdoor cats was asleep on top of the hot tub this morning so all 3 are now accounted for as I worry with the coyotes here on the ranch. The Chickadees and Titmouse were plentiful at the feeders. And the highlight of my day was finding a Pileated Woodpecker in the deep woods. It's a life list bird for me and I was delighted to see it. It was on the move and so I only managed 1 blurry pic before I lost it. While looking for it I spotted 2 deer.

(movie) Beauty goes around the corner

Beauty does that all the time to me. When she goes around out of sight I don't know if she's left or snuck around the corner on me. lol Miss her! 

Holy moly! Snow went talon up on mom. Kinda scared me at first! Just a falcon thing I guess. 

On my morning ride around the ranch today I came across a Pileated Woodpecker. It's a life bird for me so I was really excited to find it. He kept moving and gave me a hard time getting a pic of him. I did get 1 blurry pic and then a car came up behind me. I had to move the jeep cuz the dirt road wasn't wide enough to go around me. I lost the large woodpecker after that. I hope to find it again while I'm here this month.  

                                                                           

 

Day 3 in paradise finally brought birds to the backyard feeders. a Chickadee was first and later some Tufted Titmouse came by. My ranch ride bagged me my first Red-Tailed Hawk in the backside of the ranch where the bulls are kept. Foliage is still hanging in there for a beautiful background in my pics. Bulls and heifers,killdeer and vultures all entertained me today. And Peanut one of the outdoor cats showed up so I can introduce you to her! Still waiting on Whiskers to grace me with his presence.
