Finally... after months of let downs and disappointment, bad weather and crap light, a not-boring bird finally found itself in front of my camera on a day with excellent light! I think it's a Sharp Shinned Hawk, though could very well be a Coopers...
Image isnt cropped, so I have some room to cut in closer if I want to fill the frame.
Indeed quite beautiful! My vote is Cooper's Hawk and an excellent portrait. I've never seen one but sure like looking at this on.
