Immature Cooper's Hawk
ISO 800, f/8, 1/125 sec, Canon 400mm DO IS lens + 1.4X extender, handheld. This young of the year bird has been hanging around my bird feeders at work learning how to hunt. Or rather, trying to learn how to hunt - he has been pretty inept so far. With winter coming on soon, he has only a short time to become proficient!
