Had the good fortune to walk up a path and spot this hawk sitting in a tree watching songbirds in the bushes below

Isn't it wonderful when you experience the unlikely confluence of a fortuitous encounter
(especially at slow times ... like now) with marvelously revelatory lighting as you have
so clearly taken advantage of. Where did you see the juvenile Cooper's hawk?
I look forward to more examples of your keen eye and 500mm of reach.
In the words of Michael Palin ...  "Whot's it lauyk?"
