This Coopers' Hawk was caught in bird netting in our vineyard. He was quite frantic - flipping and spinning in the dirt, desperately trying to free himself but succeeding only in entangling his talons further. My father-in-law and I freed him and he eagerly took to the sky unharmed and intact. I took several photos of the 'rescue' and later painted this watercolor in my studio. The original is already SOLD. Archival giclee prints and cards are available. A Framed giclee is on display for sale for $135 during the month of February at the Gratitude Giclee Show at Bayview, Whidbey Island.
