cooper's hawk

I have front shots here through foggy lens that shows this is a cooper's.

About 20 inches tall, 4 or 5 inches too tall for a sharp-shinned - these birds are brave during the worst snow storm of the year
and the song birds around the feeder a very abundent today - click here to see them hiding in a bush.
But not before a little guy got nabbed by the resident Sharp-shinned Hawk.

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM
1/640s f/5.6 at 400.0mm iso640 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Great atmosphere! The falling snow gives this capture a very pleasing painterly effect!
