What a thrill to have this big guy stop by my backyard for lunch! By the time I spotted him he had pushed over the bird feeder and mostly emptied the five pounds of premium mix seed. He wandered around the yard a bit but always came back to check the feeder. Coop was very laid back and spent about 15 minutes in my yard (after I spotted him). I was so nervous I forgot how to use my camera!
Eventually, the neighborhood dogs sounded an alert that sent him scurrying off into the woods. I live on the northwest side of Lake Pineda. What a great experience!
