When I went to fill the feeder this afternoon this Cooper's hawk was 6-8 feet away, just watching. I tiptoed inside to get the camera and managed a decent shot before it talk off. No wonder the little birds are so skittish.

Nice image, Scott. I have a Cooper's that swings by my feeder about 2-3 times per year and does the same thing. When it arrives, the little ones scatter in all directions.

Well done! We have these little beauties in our yard often, though they are shy and hard to shoot.

Thanks, Rassie. It's been hanging around for a few weeks. Hope it eats house sparrows if it must.

Thanks, Woody. It was giving me quite a stare.

Thanks, Charles. By the way, lingering wrist injuries led me to go with the 100-400 rather than the 180-600, at least for the time being.
