I was out at the college (FSU) photographing the Canada geese, when this young Cooper's hawk stopped by for just an instant. I fired off a few quick rounds, and instantly he left, just as suddenly as he arrived. I have photographed him one other time at this same spot.
Very nice indeed....Rich

Terrific photo. You really caught the eyes. According to a local bird rescue sanctuary, cooper's hawks are the only raptor they will not try to rescue, because cooper's are so ornery that they absolutely do not tolerate being in captivity. I am told that we have many cooper's around here. They frequently take pigeons in my and my neighbors's yards. An impressive species.
