Wasn’t Fast Enough!

This morning when I woke up I looked out the window and I saw a large figure of a bird perched on the deck’s handrail, it was a Cooper’s Hawk, I ran to get my camera ready and when I approached the window ready to shoot when the bird unfortunately saw me and flew away before I could get a single shot!

It’s raining hard now as I write this post despite the heavy rain I refilled the feeders, now I can see some birds are out to feed but they look wet. I just hope that this rain won’t last long and I might be able to shoot some pictures later.

Here are some fresh pictures I shot yesterday. (It might explain the Hawk’s visit)
