The Coopers hawks was taken last week while out at noon testing my new (used) 400 f/5.6. I got lucky as some crows chased him into the tree beside me. The Barred was a real treat for me as this is the first time I ever had the opportunity to see and photograph one. Thanks for viewing.

Hi Rick. Both of these are incredible.
Isn't it a wonderful experience to meet a Barred Owl. They have such a presence about them.
