Cooper's Hawk at Mass Audubon Allens Pond, right near the parking area. Spooked right as I started to move the camera. I moved behind the small amount of cover that was there, and saw the bird move in a bit closer, but it still wouldn't return to the kill while I was there. Got a shot by using my car as a blind.
A pair of Great Egrets fishing near the Little River bridge in Dartmouth, MA yesterday evening. There were a ton of egrets in this area—I counted 45 of them, mostly Great Egrets although there were three of four Snowy Egrets mixed in, and a few Great Blue Herons looking for a meal as well.
As I suspected, the volume of fish was down significantly this week at the Agawam herring run, and while there were a few Osprey fly-overs, no one came in to fish.
Which gave this hungry Great Blue Heron an opening. He wolfed down three good-sized herring in about a 5 minute period before flying off.
Another sighting at Betty's Neck in Lakeville yesterday: a (quite large) Red-tailed Hawk that was patrolling the fields as I was making my way back to the car.
