A juvenile Cooper’s Hawk has been more of a regular visitor to the garden. Luckily, there is plenty of shrubs available for coverage and I have not seen the hawk take any song birds. While it is an awesome bird, I do chase it away when I happen to see him hanging around.
This is not a great pic of a Black Capped Chickadee. We have a few of these birds that are now regulars in the yard.
Fall foliage pics – the first is a Quaking Aspen. In the two previous years, the leaves fell off the tree before turning yellow.
The second picture is a Red Chokeberry showing its fall colors. The Black Chokeberry bushes have already lost its leaves weeks ago and were not quite as brilliant as the red variety.
