More wildness at Cutler Park

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.

Crow sees hawk


Crow attacks hawk


Crow and hawk hang out for a moment


Crow goes after hawk again


Hawk goes after crow


Crow gains upper position again


Hawk finally driven off

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.

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