Coopers Hawk

Jim Strathearn · Mar 2, 2007

This guy flew in this morning. I'm afraid he has found our feeders. But so far, he hasn't taken any birds that we know of...

He was soaking wet from the morning's rain and in very windy conditions. D2H, Bazooka, 1.6 TC:

Great capture. Your bird pics are outstanding.

Looks like it is wearing a dress.

Jim,

Lovely shot, howsomever, your Cooper's has very red shoulders - ID is Red-shouldered Hawk youngster, imho.

Jim Strathearn · Mar 2, 2007

You are absolutely correct.

Nice shot Jim. I bet he/she will take a few, especially if he/she has a nest.

Nice shot Jim. I hope he leaves your little ones alone, of course if they are smart they will stay away while he is around!

I don't suffer from insanity....I enjoy every minute of it.

--Gorgeous shot Jim. Hope he doesn't scare off or hurt the other little birdies.

Thanks Brad. As excited as I am about having the opportunity to shoot the hawks, I don't particularly want them taking my bluebirds...

Thanks Gaber. If he does, I guess I'll have to start throwing him some meat or something...

Redshoulders are more mice and vole (and frogs, too, believe it or not) eaters.
