Ever since I put up my seed feeders either a Cooper's or Sharp-shinned hawk has made it a regular stop on their quest for food.

Here is the sharp-shinned checking over the situation from a adjacent Jacaranda tree.

I need to get a seed-feeder (maybe a hawk will get another pigeon :twisted:) Nice pictures!

Photographs are records of life. Pity they don't make music when you put them in a record player. :p

Great shots with excellent detail. I've kind of been waiting for something like this at my feeders, but no raptors have come by at all.

Two fine shots Dennis. I love the pose in the first shot and you've got great focus and a crisp shot. Nice going.

I don't think anyone likes to see "their" birds attacked, but a chance for a raptor shot is quite appealing. Both shots are awesome. --Rick
