This is why I like carrying around a camera with optical zoom.

Chasing Hawks

Hawk Chase

Three smaller birds tried to chase away a pair of hawks from an electrical tower. One of them flew off while they chased it. The other waited a bit, then flew off to join the first one circling farther away.

Cooper’s Hawk (in tree, portrait)

A medium-sized brown bird with black stripes on the tail, mottled white/gray on the wings and head, yellow eyes and a sharp, hooked beak, perched on a tree branch and backlit with sky and green leaves behind it.

Probably a Cooper’s Hawk, also spotted on the same walk this afternoon. It flew up to a telephone pole, alighted there for a few seconds, and as I was trying to line up a shot with the camera, it took off again, then flew a few houses down the street to perch in this tree.

TODO: Full image is on Flickr. Is this crop there also? Is either on K2R?
