Winter Activity Part 1

Heres some more winter activity I was able to catch at my neighborhood pond today during the afternoon to the golden hour which is sunset conditions.


This is a Cooper's Hawk. I heard the call of it and looked up and spotted it and took different several pictures of this Cooper Hawk. 

The Coopers Hawks reside here in central  North Carolina in the Winter. They like broadleaf trees for nesting and they live in suburban habitat. This one was very mellow and was not spooked very easily at all.

I was about 6 feet away from where it perched on the tree, which was very cool to be that close to a Cooper's Hawk in the wild.



This is an Adult Female Mallard Duck that I also took pictures of both the Female and Male Ducks in my neighborhood pond during the golden hour which is Sunset conditions.










This is a Purple Finch that I also took at my neighborhood pond today. I took the advantage today to get different birds at my pond today to do a post of Winter Activity Part 1 for the blog.











This is a Canada Goose that I took during the sunset conditions, I wanted it to be silhouette against the ripples against the water. I got the shot I wanted for the blog to use for this post. 
 



There will be a Part 2 of Winter Activity coming up soon next week.
