Feels like it's been so long since I've posted anything, just been doing other hobbies lately I guess :]

But here's some cool black petunias I saw at the local gardening store, their petals were like velvet. Their colour is actually a really, really dark purple!

Cooper's Hawk Astur cooperii

11/11/2023 San Diego Zoo Safari Park, California

This young Cooper's hawk had a very interesting 'hunting' strategy... It was hanging out around one of the open-air exhibits at the Safari Park, and trying to scavenge bits of meat being fed to the captive vultures. While it was trying to avoid the vultures, the keeper, and the guests, it was also being harassed by ravens which were also trying to scavenge meat. It was very cool to watch it strategize - and since it was so distracted by everything and accustomed to the guests on the path right next to the trees, it made for a very good photoshoot!
