Nice shot...reminds of the snow geese at the Bosque Del Apache NWR. Did you try any long shutter speeds for an intentionally blurred shot?Quote:

I understand....when you get a shot at something new it's difficult to remember all the things that you might want to try but with big flocks of birds you can get some interesting shots with shutter speeds around 1/8 to 1/15 sec (handheld).Quote:

I don't shoot birds a lot, but I was lucky this morning when this guy landed on our neighbor's house:

Does anyone know what kind of bird this is?
Thanks,

Looks like a Cooper's Hawk.
Yep, I agree with Dseigel. Cooper's Hawk
Thanks Dsiegel and Bob,
the picture is certainly not exceptional, but I was happy to see that guy around scaring the pigeons away. I also like to see wild life (other than pigeons) being able to adjust to suburban areas.
