Cooper's hawk treed by crows!
Yes, there was a group of about 7 crows who chased the Cooper’s Hawk into the tree surrounding it in my photo. After a while, he noticed me snapping pictures and bent his head to the side, watching me.
Thanks for taking the time to view these photos and comment.

#1 for its clarity and color. The tilted head is a great plus. Mahalo for sharing.

No. 1 of course. He is posing and it is sharp.

The first one. I like when you can get the subject to look at the camera. In this the hawk is looking at the camera with both eyes and sort of giving you a model's pose. It's not easy to get the bird to do this. It is tack sharp and really shows the features and beauty of the bird. Can I ask what you f stop was? Did you try to blur the background?

Love the Coopers shot because of the birds eyes and also for the contrast & colors. I like #3 also for the bird in flight but the background or lack of it is distracting.

That all true. A much more traditional bird portrait. Thanks for sharing your preference. jak
