Cooper's Hawk, Cutler Park |
Commotion out on the marsh. Cooper's Hawk soars toward me, pulls up and lands on a utility pole behind me. Soon, more commotion. The crows have seen it.

Meanwhile, who is watching this along with me? Up ahead, atop the utility pole, a bald eagle.
|
Bald Eagle |
All year long I've been getting glimpses of this bird flying away. Finally a bird sitting still. Though not for long.
|
Bald Eagle takes off |
It left its perch and flew off down the power corridor.

Bald Eagle flies off |
The ravens are power corridor regulars now. I'm pleased to see that the bald eagle might be a regular too.
