Cooper's hawk

Rockcliffe Park

He didn't seem to mind me approaching so closely, and I got a number of photos using the zoom feature on my point and shoot. This photo was then cropped.

Does not look too threatening, but then we're not a rodent either.

What a thrill it must have been to see this guy so close! You caught nice portrait here, the angle of light perfect to highlight his profile and deadly sharp beak. Those piercing red eyes must be what smaller birds see in their nightmares!
