This was the most cooperative raptor I have ever seen. I had to cross underneath him to get the light behind me and he (or she) did not seem to mind. He hung out for quite awhile before finally taking off for parts unknown. These were taken with the K20d and Tokina 100-300mm f/4 MF lens.

Fantastic avian shot, terrific detail, sharp and lovely natural composition. Don't you love it when they pose for you.

A really great series of shots, Tim. I've been looking at the illustrations in my Sibley, and I think it looks just like the Juvenile Red-Shouldered, Florida variation.

Thanks again for the kind words, whether he is a Coopers Hawk or a Red Shouldered. I did finally break down and now have field guides for birds, insects, and butterflies on the way. I learned there are about 90,000 species of insect in North America. I only have to photography another 89, 884 or so to collect the whole set! As I remember, the K20 has a 100,000 activation shutter, so that should work out about perfect :-).
