Yesterday we were sitting lakeside at Beaver Lake in the city of Sammamish talking with two of our granddaughters when a Cooper’s Hawk landed on a nearby dock. I didn’t have my camera, but managed the following video using my phone.
Seemed like strange behavior for a Cooper’s Hawk. Maybe it thought that it was a Crow.
A little while later a California Quail appeared walking along the shoreline right in front of us. I really regretted leaving my camera at home, but again used my phone to take the following photo.
During the two hours that we were with our granddaughters we also had a Great Blue Heron fly by as did a Belted Kingfisher. Maybe our best incidental birding ever.
