A young Coopers (possibly a Sharp-shinned) Hawk at a local Peat Bog

We visited a wetland/Bog nearby yesterday. This relatively small hawk greeted
us. It was very dark - so note the high ISO and quite noisy background. I was taken by its bright white and brown breast feathers.

I will be returning soon - great birding spot

Tery I have seen this thumbnail several times and thought it was the previous shot. I appreciate the detail here, especially those intermingled brown feathers. The camera performance at high ISO is still quite good.

A stunning capture Terry. What a beautiful bird too.
The light is perfect. Well spotted and well done.
