    Cooper Hawk lands right next to me.....

    While I was down by the creek getting photos of the Coyote this Copper Hawk landed about 25 feet from me. I was surprised he sat their long enough to snap a few.
    No flash used. Creek bed is muddy and loaded with Cypress Knees. That God its cld and the mosquitoes are gone

    You know that hawk is telling his hawk buddies "I went for a drink and there was this crazy photographer sitting not 25 feet from me..."

    Eric great shots...not often one of these birds land so close to give you the opportunity for such great shots - being in the right place at the right time.

    Cheers,
