"u have to feed me, i'm only little, what d'ya mean i'm bigger than u are, u think i don't see u hiding in that tree over there w/ your foot up for a snooze! this is baby birb abuse" -- very noisy food-begging Yellow-headed Caracara

this "little" dude was hilarious, birb's just as big & capable as the nearby parent but don't tell birb that...

A tall yet somehow fluffy bird of prey with a pink face and bill is sitting on a thick branch in a dappled forest. Birb's floofed-out crown feathers are lightly touched with sun and birb's pink bill is open in a noisy cry. This is a recently fledged Yellow-headed Caracara. Laguna de Sonsa, Colombia. Nov 2025.

A Hawk Private Moment

I caught this Cooper’s hawk (Accipiter striatus) mid-groom, feathers fluffed in quiet concentration. It glanced up, eyes sharp and unbothered, as if to say, “Yes? Can I help you?”

"Perched amid a tangle of bare winter branches, a Cooper’s hawk strikes a pose that feels more comic than commanding. Its body leans forward at an odd angle, talons gripping the branch with a mix of precision and precariousness. The hawk’s tail fans out dramatically behind it—like a feathered rudder caught mid-turn—revealing bold bands of dark and light that ripple with tension. Its chest, streaked with pale brown and cream, seems puffed in protest or surprise, while its head twists slightly, eyes locked in a fierce, almost puzzled gaze.

The surrounding branches, skeletal and leafless, frame the hawk like a stage set for a winter drama. The lighting is crisp, highlighting the texture of each feather and the taut muscles beneath. There’s a sense of motion paused—like the hawk was about to launch, slipped, and decided to play it cool. The moment is frozen in high detail, capturing both the majesty and the comic vulnerability of this raptor in a rare, unguarded instant." - Microsoft Copilot — "Perched amid a tangle of bare winter branches, a Cooper’s hawk strikes a pose that feels more comic than commanding.

It's a WIP, but I've started documenting my recent obsession with watching live streams of bird nests (mostly eagles and other raptors) on my site, to help me keep track of all my favourite bird parents and babies: https://bellebcooper.com/nests/

A bunch of eagles in Europe are fledging or about to (Lesser Spotted, Golden, Eastern Imperial), and Sydney's White-bellied Sea Eagles have 2 eggs that will hatch in the next week or two. Lots happening in bird world.
