Does look like a Cooper's hawk to me in the first two. The third might be a juvenile Cooper's Hawk but it is hard to differentiate from the Sharp-Skinned.Hawk ID help please.
I've tried to match these two hawks to images in my two bird books, but I'm still uncertain as to what they are. I've included 2 pictures of the first one with different head positions. I think it's either a Cooper's Hawk or a Sharp-Shinned Hawk. The second one I have no idea. For context, these were taken at Ladner, BC in Dec 2020 & Jan 2021. Anybody know what these are? Thanks.

That image makes my Tamron 150-600 G1 look mediocre.A Bald Eagle pounced on a mallard duck resting on a sheet of ice and has almost finished eating it. Disturbing but natural.
R5 + RF 800mm from about 20m away.

Every lens has its silver lining. If you can tolerate its min focus distance and ISO due to f/11, this RF 800mm is a good performer. I had a Sigma 60-600 and it was also very good in its own sense.That image makes my Tamron 150-600 G1 look mediocre.![]()
Some blackbirds are singing right now close to my balcony. These birds are very naughty this season. They come close and sing either after sunset or before sunrise!
The rest time of the day they are elsewhere![]()
