The Cooper's Hawks are back in the same nesting area as they were last year. Got some good shots of it today, but haven't had a chance to review them yet. The current posting is from April 15 of last year. It is of the female taking a bath after you know what. She did the same thing again today.

I'll be away for several days and will catch up on comments when I return.

Thank you all for your kind comments w.r.t. my various postings and especially those for the SERIES “HOME & FAMILY MAKING G.B.H. STYLE”, Chapter One (see http://www.pbase.com/hankvv/image/123410173 ). I'm not sure if I can do an other chapter about nesting and fledging of the young as I had intended since I will be away for three weeks in May and, hence, will miss a lot of the action. Cheers
