Ottawa

Two consecutive images: Whilst looking for the Pileated Woodpeckers, I came across this Cooper's hawk. It took off almost immediately, but not before I managed a couple of "Oops" flight shots. I haven't seen it since that first day.

Let's hope the nesting pair that we all saw last year returns.

Good reflex to catch it at all, Hank! Hope it didn't eat Woody!!

Nicely done. How do you ever get it to keep focused on the bird instead of the breaches?

NealyBob		15-Mar-2010 03:31
Two excellent fleeing flight shots Hank! They're both really sharp!

A sweet series to follow.

Hard to catch these guys if they are surprised on their perch. Great display of the adult feathers underwing and love the way he has tucked up his talons.
