Agua Caliente, Arizona - Part V

Continuing coverage of Agua Caliente, a "Warm Springs" and Park about four miles from us, there is the occasional raptor. Typically, I don't go to Agua Caliente to photograph raptors. It's normally waterbirds and flycatchers. But once in a while:

There is a Cooper's Hawk looking for one of those flycatchers, or the more common desert ground birds (doves and quail).

Osprey at rare to Southern Arizona, but this one found a fish dinner at Agua Caliente.

There are a pair of Great Horned Owls that seem to nest in the large palm trees each Spring.  This is probably the mom.

And, here is a very young Owlet in the nest.
