Cooper's Hawk

This hawk was on my back fence, and I got to snap a quick shot through the glass door before it abruptly took off.

Wow. You must have doors with the same glass as Bob (Bhodan) -- that is an impressively sharp picture.

See one in our yard on occasion but have never been fortunate enough to get a gem of a shot like yours.

Thank you, Nick! The head could be a little sharper; but then again if I could put down my camera or my computer for a minute, maybe I would have time to clean the glass!

Thanks Brian! They are so sensitive and just take off.

Au contraire! Or maybe I got above the dogs’ nose streaks. Thanks Allan!

Dossy - Love the shot. We must have the same fence. In our backyard we've got a big bird feeder and two nut feeders. Several years ago we young Coopers hawk showed up for a feast but the birds didn't cooperate. The hawk was undeterred and stayed and stayed. When I opened the window and set my camera up, it was undeterred. Finally, it gave up and flew away but it sure was fun watching it as it spun its head around looking for prey.

You are lucky, John! The ones we get are so skittish. The slightest move or sound and they're gone!
