Heard the Cooper's Hawk screaming in the tree and got these from the balcony this morning. It was kinda gray out, in the shade, and at 800 ISO I am real pleased with how the 20D handled it.

Note for Scottes: I haven't seen the Cooper's Hawk for a while. Thanks for mentioning "the balcony" - coz he must have heard you and decided to pay me a visit. I had to run out in my jammies & slippers - that's why he looks so shocked in the first pic. ;-)

Carumba!!!! That's as good as it gets. I have a new canon 20D with a 100-400 L as well; you've raised the bar for me. Great shots

Ha, that is just going to put Scottes over the top!

Great shots by the way! I'd like a hawk to visit my tree off the deck.

WOAH! Beautiful! Very rare oppertunity! That is awesome. I wish I could find a hawk to shoot around my area. I only see them when they're circling a couple hundred feet up in the sky. :-( Good job.

Great shots!

Too bad nobody was pointing a lens your way. That would have been an interesting sight to see also. :lol:

You're killing me, PB, you're simply killing me.

Fantastic shots as usual. Superbly nonchalant in slippers, which is also fairly usual with you.


I gotta get me some pajamas.... Can you get pajamas in camo patterns? Or how about ghillie-jamas?

Outstanding shots. From the balcony, too. No blinds, running through the woods, freezing feet, etc. Probably p*sses some people off! :D:D:D
