Cooper's Hawk -- Everyone's Got an Itch to Scratch...

But those talons. Whoa. Took this today as I went to seek out my hawks I stalk every day. Two of them also flew and nope, I was not quick enough. They are such a thrill to watch.

cool shot Daryl! We have them in our neighborhood too - did you catch I one that I posted the other day as it perched on my fake deer in my backyard! So exciting. I love the shot on the right - great moment to catch!

Wow, cool. The other day, I was visiting my mom (in a condo!) and a hawk swooped down to the tree in front of me! Whoa! I only had my cell phone and got a half way decent shot. Not sure if it was a Cooper's Hawk or a Ring Tailed Hawk. I have never been so close to one.
