This young Cooper's Hawk spreads his wings to cover his food to hide it from his brothers and sisters while warning them off. A parent had just dropped fresh food for them and he was the first to make off with it.

Canon 5D Mark III with the 500L f4 lens handheld @ 1/400, f4, ISO 800, +4 exposure compensation.

Full-frame, no crop. Although it doesn't appear as so, there was little light available which explains my camera settings, These fledglings, who left their nest a couple of weeks ago, are readily approachable and simply ignore you.

Cheers,
