An adult Cooper’s Hawk rests on a snag in the light of the rising sun. I keep an eye on this tree every day hoping a raptor will visit. This is the second one and both have been coops. Judging by the way they cleaned their bill before leaving, I’d guess a small songbird met their end at first light.
A bit closer to home, on the front window, a resident orbweaver works steadily to rebuild a web destroyed by yesterday’s rains. I love the changes, at all scales, that happen within a familiar setting. Each day brings something different whether it’s merely the quality of light or a new encounter. I try not to take my surroundings for granted.
