Three images, three views, of a Cooper's Hawk that unexpectedly landed on a pedestrian bridge railing in a local park, just as I approached it. The Hawk had its eye fixed on a Mallard in the water below. This allowed me to almost walk 180 degrees around it, thus permitting me to get front-view, side-view and back-view shots from up close. Thanks to two pairs of walkers who graciously waited for me to finish taking pictures before walking to or over the small bridge.
