This bird was spotted in the tree in my backyard by my daughter yesterday, and as near as I can tell, it is a Coopers Hawk. (Google Search) I could be wrong though. I was wrong one other time in my life. LOL.
Super shot with sharp focus Jimbob. I have never seen this one before. I saw the photos on google. You were right. I won't ask you when it was that you were wrong :)
I think you nailed it Jim - I pulled put my trusty field guide to birds east of the Rockies which I keep by the computer and I do believe you are correct - excellent capture!
Great shot of the hawk Jimbob - it's so cool to see one in the wild - that guy is a youngster learning to hunt for food and exploring his new world. Great Capture!!!!!!!
I do believe it is a coopers hawk, you were lucky it sat still long enough for you to get this excellent capture of it. Kudos on a job very well done. tigs=^..^=
How nice of him to pose for you! He's handsome fellow and you got a good clear image of him, especially since these guys don't hang around for very long when they sense company. Super capture!
He is spotted, JimBob, he has brown spots on on his chest! Great find and good capture - what a wonderful visitor to You backyard. With him in residence, You won't have to worry about having mice and moles.
