Your Photos: William Jennings

A Cooper's Hawk at Burke Lake Golf.

William Jennings is Golf Course Superintendent III at Burke Lake Park & Golf.  About his photo he wrote:

"Sometimes nature is rewarding and often cruel. Purple martins fledglings are easy prey when a coppers hawk comes knocking. I interrupted this hawk knocking on the purple martins house trying to get the babies to stick their heads out so the hawk could have breakfast. The crows are also excellent at plucking form the boxes.
