Red Eye

[mjs1973]

I peaked out the window to check the bird feeders this morning, and this is what I found. I managed to sneak around the side of the house and get a couple shots before he took off.

EXCELLENT shots. I love how sharp these are!

Wonderful lighting--and everything else.
Feet are in a strange position, though. You sure you didn't have this guy tied down?

Probably been eating too many flamingos.


Nice shots. it's like a little food chain - seed, squirrel, hawk.

Wow, very good shots, Mike!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hmm, in the second one the hawk looks somewhat puffed up...? Like, "here I come little squirrel, you're never going to escape"...

Very nice cooper's hawk images

Thanks everyone. I love seeing these guys at the feeders, but I'm sure the finches, sparrows and squirrels think otherwise.

Great find and perfect capture. I love the red eyes.

Great shots, the colour of the eyes is amazing.

Sweet! Does he only have one leg?

Probably tucked away under his belly feathers from the cold.

Yup, it was tucked away from the cold.

Nice shots Mike, he does seem to have a problem with the leg that is exposed.
Thanks for the ID Paul.
