Cooper's Hawk returns to mountain spring for a long bath

Oct 13, 2022
Cooper's Hawk returns to the mountain spring for a long bath. I never get tired of watching this magnificent bird. Oddly the raptor has not been observed hunting other birds at the bathing spot even though I have cameras 24/7.

Filmed with Campark T100 Trail Camera

and he usually spends a lot of time soaking his feet in the large basin for birds. Seems to be part of their grooming routine.

and you provided a fairly detailed explanation of its features. Just assumed it was yours.

Thanks for posting these. As a "slightly better than average" birder, it's much appreciated.
