Nolemana got me a new camera for Christmas, and with it I have been able to take the most amazing bird photos. This Cooper’s Hawk sat for quite awhile outside my office, and I was delighted to get this close-up. I often see Red-Tailed Hawks floating on the wind over our pasture, but they never get as close as this acccipiter hawk, who has the ability to come in swiftly through the trees.
Every time I see him, I am struck silent by his magnificence and by the piercing look in his eyes, and I thank the God who made him for allowing me to see the hawk in all his splendor.
