A Visitor

 

Imagine my surprise and delight when I looked out the window and saw this gorgeous bird in the fountain. I believe it to be a juvenile Cooper's hawk (though I am having a bit of a hard time saying for sure...). He or she stayed there for about 20 minutes or so, mostly just standing with a bath or two. 

Feather pants! 

So so cool...this is only the second time that I've seen a hawk in our fountain. Of course, the whole time I kept thinking "stay away, little goldfinches, stay away."
