Up Close and Personal

(c) 2008 Ms. Huis Herself at musenmutter.blogspot.com


The hawks were outside again today, so, holding Penguin (hence some camera shakiness), I went out with the digital camera to try to get some clearer close-ups, and maybe even video of their "kek kek kek" call.


I'd post the first video I got...

...but I happened to capture an
"Animal Planet" moment
between the two lovebirds,
I mean hawks...


...which wasn't quite what I'd intended to film. ;)



But I did manage to capture their call after all.


Call of the Cooper's Hawk


P.S. Also, this is the female one. The more "pigeon-y" looking one in the photos below is the male. Trust me, I know this now.

Wow, I never knew they made so much noise, since I usually see them in flight from a car window.
