Title: Coopers hawk
Post by: SmokeytheDog on January 23, 2012, 06:36:15 PM
This 1 year old coopers hawk was in our back yard the other day. I had to shoot through our bedroom window into the sun to get this shot. You can see his yellow eye which means he's 1 year old. An adult would have red eyes, and a fledgling gray.
I love digital cameras! I sat with the bird book in one hand and looked at the LCD screen to ID the bird.  8)

Great shot, and wonderful that you could identify him, even give his age!   :thumbsup:

Nice shot, Smokey.  Glad to see I am not the only opportunist who shoots through any obstacle!
