I first created this site back in 1998 to document the wild plants that I encountered. But it has grown into a clearinghouse of information on landscaping, backyard birds, butterfly gardening, plant identification and making paper from plant fiber. After leaving Kansas, I thought of deleting the site. But realize it has a wealth of information that people rely upon.
Hosting the site is involved. I’d like to thank those who have donated to help defray the web site hosting fees. If you would like to contribute, please click the Donate button. Thank you.
Cooper's Hawk
Cooper's Hawk in Brush Pile
On November 23, 2012 this juvenile cooper's hawk was trying to catch birds that were hiding in my brush pile.It is a first year female. Female cooper's hawks are larger than male cooper's hawks.
In 2012 this Cooper's Hawk caught a bird and is eating it, but a crow is also interested in the prey.
This Cooper's Hawk is eating a bird it caught
