Cooper's Hawk

[Glenn Bartley]

I just love watching these guys cruise around the neighborhood terrorizing the songbirds. Such awesome birds!!

My first reaction when I saw this image on my LCD was that I wish he had banked a bit. But this pose is kind of growing on me. What about you? What do you think?

I remember seeing these cruising around when I was in N.E. SD many years ago!

That works for me

It would be nice if it had banked a bit. But its still stunning.

I had a quick look at you web site and think will be poping back soon. Costa Rica is on our plans for next year or year after. Enjoy you trip in March
