It was only two days ago when I finally was able to catch a decent photograph of one of them. The specimen in the tree was magnificent and he was very patient with me as I worked my way around the tree to photograph him. He eventually flew away when some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.audubon.org\/field-guide\/bird\/cedar-waxwing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cedar Waxwings<\/a> flew off and he tried to nab one of them.<\/p>\n<p>A Cooper&#8217;s Hawk captures a bird with its feet and kills it by repeated squeezing. Falcons tend to kill their prey by biting it, but Cooper\u2019s Hawks hold their catch away from the body until it dies. They\u2019ve even been known to drown their prey, holding a bird underwater until it stopped moving. \u00a0Dashing through vegetation to catch birds is a dangerous lifestyle. In a study of more than 300 Cooper\u2019s Hawk skeletons, 23 percent showed old, healed-over fractures in the bones of the chest, especially of the furcula, or wishbone.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6861\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6861\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160304-Red-tailed-Hawk-001.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6861\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6861\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2016\/03\/hawk-2\/red-tailed-hawk-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160304-Red-tailed-Hawk-001.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1000,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
