Cool Cooper’s

Jumping back to Christmas Eve for this pic.

I had stopped by an area open space where I have had good luck with a variety of raptors. While I had seen Cooper’s hawks in the area, they were always elusive and quick to depart the area long before I could get a shot.

On this morning, one decided it was perfectly fine with the human intruding on its space. It gave me a ton of nice poses, almost entirely ignoring me and staying in the same spot for more than an hour.

The best part about these hawks I tend to think are those crazy eyes. So amazing!
