Standing proud

Not sure if this is a sharp shinned hawk or a Coopers hawk but whatever it is, it posed nicely for this regal looking portrait the other day.

Wow, great hawk portrait...terrrific lighting

[Anne Pancella]

I lean toward Coopers...the nape looks pale, and it doesn't have the bug-eyed look of the Sharpies. Also, top of head looks kind of flat. Either way, a fabulous shot. You must have been close.

Regal for sure

@annepann Thanks for the tips for identifying. I was pretty close, shooting out of my car window.

My husband is the expert on ocipitors (I know I spelled that wrong!) and other birds of prey. But I agree with you- it doesn't matter which one it is, the shot is quite regal and special.
