Since I can't see his tail, it's hard to tell. If you have time, could you look at this and tell the difference? http://louisianabelleforever.blogspot.com/2010/11/day-323-coopers-hawk.html Thanks!Gail Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697820311332653232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-90388314981032643552010-12-09T21:05:45.559-05:002010-12-09T21:05:45.559-05:00Mother nature is so cruel.

They make the day better.<br />We are having our first good snow here in Northern Ohio, right next door to Lake Erie, so a good amount of lake effect snow.

Darn them.<br />No hawks here, but we have an (as yet unseen) hooty owl serenading us every evening.Makes it worth the wait while an old o.l.d. dog decides where to pee. :)J'Ollie Primitiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06744123704292534249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-81297382812483283622010-12-08T17:28:58.956-05:002010-12-08T17:28:58.956-05:00WOW these are fabulous shots, especially the hawk!...WOW these are fabulous shots, especially the hawk!
