Great pictures!!! I had a pair build a nest above my driveway and hatch out 3 chicks. Very cool getting to watch them hunt and feed their chicks...my chickens didn't care for it to much.

My favorite bird, wish you lived closer. I have one who is regular at the house. He perches on a corner post near my road to the house. He fly's off when you drive by, but will fly right back and continue his scouting. I can get within 20 -30 yards of him if I walk down on foot. Wish I had the camera equipment and skills to capture him properly.

I appreciate all the comments. Glad y'all enjoyed looking at them.

Not a problem sir. My dad is a falconer that's the only reason I know. They're pretty common also and are mistaken for redtailed hawks quite often. You have some awesome pictures though!

I never cared much until I started shooting a lot of bird pics but now I want it right if possible. I shot a Cooper's about 2 weeks ago and looked them up at that time.

You've found a great perching location! Great pics, Bill!

David I'm not sure why I didn't show you "The Tree" when you were here.

That would be very cool to observe.

Awesome pictures! The third pic is a coopers hawk.

Was thinking the same thing... Good call.

Still some great photos though!

Thanks again. Sure want more opportunities to shoot them and try to get closer. They don't sit still for any human though.
