Coopers Hawk in flight



My wife spotted this Coopers Hawk perched on a low branch next to our house ..... I managed to open a window and fire off a few images as it took flight.

Gorgeous shot Joel! I love the complimentary colors.

I headed out yesterday to photograph sunrise and look for snowy owls.

I'm a huge fan of BIF photos, and I'm also totally enthralled with snowy owls. But for this week I have to give the nod to Brant for his 'Tilted Sunrise' image. It is both creative and artistic, on top of being very well executed. Nicely done!

Congrats Brant!! Wonderful image

A pleasant surprise considering Joel's shot.
