Had a great day today. Started out at 7:00 am looking for the Peregrine Falcon who has been hanging around the area. I didn't see him first thing this morning but I did come across this Coopers Hawk right away. Later on in the morning I found the Peregrine Falcon. What a cool Bird. Anyway I am pretty happy with the results. Critique welcome.

2 gorgeous raptors Chris!
It's funny, the Coopers is intent on something off to it's right, while the Peregrine definitely knew you were there. Great "looks" on both.

I think there is some competition going on for sure. Each image was taken directly across the river from each other. But at least they will keep the Pigeon population down.
