I had a wonderful jog today in a quiet neighborhood. I got to feel the sun, enjoy the yellows, reds and greens from the trees. The squirrels were out in HIGH numbers! They made me laugh, such funny creatures heheh.
In the middle of my run I spotted a cooper's Hawk. I slowed my pace, stopped and admired his presence. He let me get closer and I saw red in his eyes, a beautiful golden white breast and a striped tail. The dragonflies were out too. It was a very nice day of relaxation and I intend to bump these totems up on the forum again to explore their behaviors and significance with you.
Behavior
The hunting Cooper's Hawk approaches its prey stealthily, moving quietly through dense cover until it is close enough to overcome its target with a burst of speed. The secretive traits that allow the Cooper's Hawk to surprise its prey also make it difficult to observe. It is most easily seen during migration.
