Went to Reifel today, fairly uneventful until I was leaving. This Coopers Hawk flew across the path scaring all the mallards into the water, then he landed on this branch right over the water just to the right of the warming hut! :)

I have to figure out how to open 2 windows at once, so I don't have to do a new post! :)

All three are nice shots. I love the look in her eye on the second shot.

Great series. Seems you've been very productive. There has been a coopers in my backyard chasing the sparrows around my feeder but I haven't been ready with the camera to get any photos (by the time I get my camera ready it's too late) so congrats on getting these shots!

Keep them comming!

Thanks for the generous comments everyone!
Sherms, I've actually been taking photographs of birds for a couple of years now, but this summer I finally got a digital SLR & I've also just upgraded my computer, so I'm finally able to get decent shots & able to upload them too! :D

Great shots Deb!

Doesn't it seem that you often get your best sighting just as you're planning to call it quits for the day?
