This Cooper's Hawk was searching for food in our backyard yesterday afternoon - Hawks often stake out our bird-feeder for "Bird Food" - And they are NOT eating the traditional bird seed!

  Excellent details and capture, Jeff. There was a hawk the other day at our feeder that was successful.

  Beautiful capture Jeff. We have a broad-winged hawk that does the same thing at our bird feeders.

  A beauty, Jeff. I agree with Mel. You have to be lucky to see one, and skilled to get a capture like this.

They do wreak havoc in a back yard, don't they?

  I don't think I've seen a hawk in our backyard. Now I know what I'm missing. Gorgeous, Jeff.

  A beautiful capture of this hawk, Jeff. We have a resident one as well, I know he's here when the little birds start hitting the windows on their frantic escape.

  WOW! I am also very envious of you, Jeff! I have seen one in our backyard only once (and we have lots of feeders!) Great shot of him in beautiful light - he is certainly majestic looking
