1549. mistaken identity

 

there is a pigeon
in the tree soooo close to me
no… a cooper’s hawk 🦊❤️

As I was walking along lost in thoughts, I was suddenly jolted into the moment by a flash of movement immediately to my left. There was a split second of blankness then the word “pigeon” entered my mind. It was not a pigeon, it was a Cooper’s Hawk.  It perched within feet of me and stood perfectly still as I took a photo.  This has been my lucky week when it comes to awesome wildlife sightings.  🦊❤️
