Juvenile Cooper's Hawk
This Cooper's Hawk was to far
away for my camera so the photos are not clear & maybe I
shouldn't have taken the photos but then how often does one see
a Hawk in the middle of Alhambra California?

Juvenile Mandarin Ducks I
think that these Ducks are quickly becoming my favorites. The female
eyes are just gorgeous. I never knew ducks love peanuts. These ones will
stick around for hours as I crack nuts for them. One of the females
ducks has a hurt leg so she gets extra peanuts.
