[Tweeters] Incidental Birding

[Hank Heiberg via Tweeters]

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.
