Cooper's hawk, juvenile

The first thing I encountered this afternoon at FWG was a flock of agitated chickadees in the BYG. As I rounded the corner of the Interpretive Centre, I could hear them calling repeatedly, obviously not happy. One flew at speed from the red cedar and missed me by a centimeter. I quickly saw the cause of all this panic, a young Cooper's hawk trying very unsuccessfully to catch a meal.

Canon PowerShot SX10 IS
1/200s f/5.7 at 100.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Great catch. You sure don't need a mega dSLR with expensive lens; just proper technique, and a bit of luck too :)

Congrats :)
