Where is that Cooper’s manners? Just look at all those crumbs it is leaving on the table.
Nice shot Dave on both accounts.

Kind of looks like it's holding it's head up while being eaten alive. It's just from the hawk pulling the feathers off I know. Congrats and good pic of the hawk. Hope it stays around your place.

Cool pic, Dave. You would think everything around you would know by now about the killing ground around your house.
