Like a hawk

[Colin]

Actually it is a hawk. A Cooper's Hawk to be exact. Took this just now as he was perched on a branch over my shop. He was scoping out the myriad birds at our feeders.

Niiiiiiiiice! Great pose.

There's three hawks that hang around our neighborhood. I'm not enough of a birder to know if they're Red Tails, Coopers, or Sharp Shinned --- and the only reason I know those names is because there's an avid birder here locally that updates her website monthly with photos of what she's seen during that time.

They're great fun to watch, though.

Panasonic G3 camera; Panasonic 100-300 lens, @ max zoom. These hawks never let you get close to them.

That is a really clear picture and it's nice to see nature right outside you door.
I have a couple of owls outside and I can never get a good picture of them.
I will keep trying and I am definetly getting a better camera.

Very nice, we have redtails on a regular basis around the house and shop. Bald Eagles from time to time, Swallowtail Kites, Owls always, actually we have quite a number of bird species at different times of the year.

I gotta a red tail hawk that hangs around my house killing doves. He thinks my bird bath is an all you can eat buffet.

The slaughter got so bad last week I had to stop putting water in it. My entire front yard was covered in feathers.
