I spotted our resident Cooper’s hawk hanging out under the flowering plum tree the other day.

.

.

It’s close to the bird feeders so you know he was there looking for lunch.

.

.

A few minutes later I spotted the husband taking a picture of something.

.

.

It was a baby red squirrel and it was scared to death.

.

.

Probably of the hawk.

.

.

So scared it clung to the husband’s slipper and had to be pried off and tucked under a shrub for safety.
