Great capture Jack! Magnificent for sure.

Thanks Jim. There is some look or attitude that all predators have that make them stand out from the bunny rabbits

You got a super shot! Hawks are unpredictable - one minute they are there and the next gone. It seems to me there are significantly less hawks this year in Arizona. I'm not seeing many off Davis Rd or Route 191 this winter. Actually it seems like less birds all around - are they all in Green Valley??

I have seen a marked decrease in the number of winter hawks for the past several years. I don't know why but I postulate it's because of lack of prey animals due to the 20+ year drought.

It is a really good shot if your just look at the left side of the image. But why did you shoot it with the bird looking out of the frame and the wide blue expanse on the right? Could you not have moved the camera further to the left?

Thanks for commenting DebAnne . It was the best angle I could get for the shot I wanted. There were a bunch of tree branches on the left side. I suppose I could do a lot of content aware fill to get rid of it and if necessary a sky replacement.

I am a picture taker not a photographer and my only desire was to capture a useable picture of a Cooper's Hawk. When I put it in the library I will crop the left side as tightly as the right.
