Cooper's Hawk out my window.

I wander all over the place looking for birds. I'm on my phone and what do I see, a young Cooper's Hawk.

You already saw this one if you looked at this week's Project 52. The lighting wasn't good here so image is a bit overworked. (7D)


Then there another angle, he or she was taken with a Canon PowerShot (hand held mind you) that's always locked an loaded.


Later he moved to a branch with better lighting and I snapped this with my 7D. It's my favorite.

A question out there to all you bird watchers. I never see these with both Feet down. On is always tucked in near the chest. Is that typical?

^^ Funny that you mentioned that, I'm noticing that too!

These are some nice photos!

It's always nice to have a camera locked, cocked and ready to rock!

I'm lovin' that PowerShot. It definitely has a place in my arsenal.

Nice shots. I have photographed them standing on one foot and both feet.
