Here's a pair of snowy owls I photographed in Boundary Bay, BC, years ago. Snowies had a population explosion the year before so they were coming down from the Arctic in search of food.

#Raptor overhead! This bird of prey (I am uncertain of the exact #species) was flying above and in front of me as I walked the section of the path alongside Bawsey Drain between Columbia Way and Lynnsport in North Lynn this afternoon.

A raptor, the species of which I am unsure, flies above North Lynn. It is a fairly large bird (definitely larger than even the biggest gulls) with a mottled brown body, a vicious looking beak, wings fully extended and a broad tail, which would give it great control in flight, enabling it to hover for extended periods if necessary.

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.
