Handsome Adult Male Cooper's Hawk Close Up
Jan 22, 2017 10:15:27 #
I was just about to the Refuge exit when this fella was chasing a small bird that dove into a bush to escape. The Cooper's landed on this post next to the bush to check out where his prey went. I was only about twenty feet away with my car window down and camera on my lap. He gave me about ten seconds and that was all it took to get the camera in action and shoot a burst! Some fast action that I was happy for.
