Apr 23, 2009 17:44 | #5 thanks guys, yeah i am not for sure what he was doing in there, but he let me get very close to him and never flew away i got my shots and left him be. he just stood there i never saw him move or take a drink or anything. Chris

canonloader Cream of the Crop  More info | Apr 23, 2009 18:51 | #6 Very nice shots. But I have to go against the majority on this one and call it a Sharp Shinned hawk. Just the shape of the head and the speckles on the breast go sideways. On a Coopers hawk, they go up and down, like a raindrop shape. He looks small like a Sharpie too. Mitch- ____...^.^...____
