It was a Bad Day In Cape May

if you were a Coopers Hawk.

A birder, Sam Galick recently caught some amazing pictures of a Northern Goshawk taking down a Coopers Hawk right out of the air while at the Cape May Hawk Watch. Even if you have cursed the Coopers Hawk for picking birds from your feeder in the past, you have to feel bad for this guy.  It would be like an F16 just swooping down and picking us up off the ground.

Check out these amazing photographs that Sam captured:

Our hawk watch has ended, but keep watch birds and the sky, winter migration is in full swing and the Christmas Bird Count is about to begin!
