I continue to follow and photograph the juvenile Cooper's Hawks in our area.

Lovely! I am missing my hawk. He seems to have moved elsewhere in the rains. Hopefully he will come back once the rains abate.

Fledgling Common tern close up, and scene with its parent feeding a fish.

That second shot is great! The head angle is a bit too forward, but the lighting, detail, composition, are all great.

Rick, that's a great shot of that eaglet. Getting the exposure right in conditions like that is not easy.

"Bigfoot". Juvenile American Coot. Obviously, on these birds, some body parts grow faster than others!

Nice! I'm guessing a fledgling Red Shouldered Hawk.

Nice! I'm guessing a fledgling Red Shouldered Hawk.

You nailed it...It made a fresh kill on a rabbit and wasn't able to pick it up and fly away with it. So it just stood it's ground and let me get about 3-4 meters way from it with my 70-200. Wish I got better shots of it in flight but this was one of those once in probably a life time chance encounters right outside my community gate.

the 2nd picture is a setup shot..because this bird is not easy to come out...
