Coopers Hawk
When looking out the kitchen window this afternoon, I spotted this fella. He looked like a big blob until DH got the binoculars. DH thought it was an owl but I thought it looked more like a hawk of some kind. I ran for the camera which just had the normal lens and took several shots while DH got the zoom lens. By the time we changed the lens I only got one shot before he flew off. No time for the tripod so it isn't as clear as I would have liked and the morning coffee didn't help either. lol After he flew off we got the bird book out and discovered he was a Cooper's Hawk.

Love hawks and birds of prey. You had a great chance to take this picture. We can't see this beautiful bird, the Cooper's Hawk lives only in America.
