CA ~ Fun times in the desert

Cooper's Hawk
Today's early morning walk was exciting! As I came out of the room there was a Cooper's Hawk sitting over on the fence and I was able to get a quick picture before the hawk flew off as I startled him. Then I went around the corner and saw a Greater Roadrunner chick jump into a bush, grab a bug and jump down onto the sidewalk again. Then the chick didn't seem to know how to get the bug broken into smaller pieces so he could eat it. What fun to watch him figure it out! On my walk I also saw 2 more life birds - Berwick's Wren and Gambel's Quail.
