Cooper’s Hawk
Tucson, Arizona using a Canon Powershot SX40HS
Cooper’s Hawk preys on small birds, often making swift surprise attacks at bird feeders. Because of the similar bold raids on domestic poultry , this species was once shot as a “chicken hawk” and a bounty was paid for it; this practice was ended in the mid-20th century.
Coopers is a very common sight in autumn migration, as well as in deciduous and mixed woodlands.
Identification Pale nape fives capped look, heavier legs and longer tail than Sharp-shinned Hawk
VOICE A nasal kih, much lower-pitched than Sharp-shinned Hawk, usually given in long, staccato, chattering series.

My goal is to get my name out there among the vast ocean of Natural photographers. To be known for my skill with a Point & Shoot~
My images are not photo shopped. They have only been adjusted with basic sharpening, contrasting & saturation techniques. I believe that in order to appreciate Nature, you have to capture it as it is, naturally.
