Wildlife --Coopers Hawks

[@jackdalton2010]

Wonderful video! I love how the mother hawk made sure even the timid chick got enough to eat.

[@Sunsaintsandwaves]

Glad you enjoyed it

Great video Steve! Your work is always top notch and your passion always is evident. And any piece narrated by you is always a treat. You have the ultimate voice for wildlife education. Thanks for producing this!

[@stevesomach]

[@stevesomach]

Your welcome!

[@halluxtalon6203]

From a 2nd year apprentices perspective... Your content has inspired me to be the best falconer I can be, provided great knowledge, and in general enriched my life substantially. Thank you so much for your truly meaningful contribution to my art of falconry.

[@stevesomach]

You are so welcome! I am glad to be an influence in a good way.

Thanks for showing great beautiful video such as this you did a lot of work and envested lots of time and equipment to get this video and we're the viewers hopefully treasure this as I have. We feed birds and several times a week seeing a young cooper hawk trying to get " " fast food" at our bird feeder and she's a beautiful bird that we first dread to see it hurt the other but they all also want to eat. Yes we love our Cooper's hawk and all the nature . Thanks for showing

Steve, you're not only the ambassador of American Falconry, but you have to be one of the best photographers I've ever seen. OSH :-)

[@stevesomach]

Thanks so much!

[@bothkindsofmusic2964]

Glorious!

[@Morningdovecamp]

Thank you so much for your beautiful video. I was lucky enough to stumble upon a Cooper’s Hawk nest several days ago. I quietly visit each day so far. At times she seems to be sitting on eggs. Other times in trees nearby. I saw her with the male first day bringing nesting material or I would never have known where the nest is especially as trees are leafing out. I am just north of Boston, Mass, USA. I can only hope to see the wonder you saw unfold! Beautiful footage, thanks for sharing👍🏻🙏🏻🌞

[@stevesomach]

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@ryansandstrom6521]

Good stuff Steve!

[@lyledahlberg288]

Really nice work with the video and commentary Steve. The best I’ve seen.

[@stevesomach]

Thank you! Such cool hawks!

[@mikeysan01]

Very well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stevesomach]

Thanks

I'm on a Cooper's nest site right now (Spring '22). We saw 3 young after fledging last year while watching our local Red-shouldered hawks nest, which was taken out by tornado force winds... surprisingly 2 still grew up in a half broken tree, it was amazing; I thought they wouldn't have survived.

[@stevesomach]

Nice

[@erniejessop9125]

Steve, I love watching your videos. Especially the grouse hunting in WY. Thanks for sharing your amazing life with the rest of us.

[@stevesomach]

Your welcome!

[@graham8430]

At this time of year in the UK I often see our local sparowhawk, it's young on the wing, circling high over the valley with prey in its talons, as if to announce "come on my babies... here is your breakfast... still looking after you!?" I really enjoyed your nice, quality, film, Steve... please keep them coming!

[@stevesomach]

So glad you enjoyed the video! Would love to see sparrow hawks in the will someday!

[@GONEHAWKN70]

Steve, by far my favorite video to date. Well done!! The background music and trickling water sounds made this even more enjoyable to watch. Bill Maryland

[@stevesomach]

So glad you liked it! Love Cooper’s hawks

[@stevesomach]

Thanks so much Bill!

[@travis43]

great video I remember in the late 80's seeing Coop was maybe once during the Winter.

[@stevesomach]

[@stevesomach]

Glad you like it!

[@shanephitides8565]

Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Be safe my friend .

[@stevesomach]

Thanks Shane!

[@judycook4314]

So much work but wonderful for us! I have a family that nests behind my home, which has forced a change in how other birds are fed! I know the hawks have to eat, but I don’t want to set up the other birds as easy prey!

[@stevesomach]

I understand!

[@MilesofBeard]

Amazing work! Reminds me of old national geographic from way back with so much better quality. A goad we have a few of you out there creating the content and information nobody is willing to go the length for or make the time. Making the jump now into falconry. A process I have attempted on for over 12 years and wanted to do ever since I was about 15. Just got 2.3 acres in Loveland CO right on the foothills. I hope to meet you one day. i love the sage grouse videos something i hope to get into sooner then later

[@stevesomach]

Thanks for your message!
