Title: Juvi Coopers now, not a Sharp-shin @ Lambton

Probably the closest I've been to a Hawk ever.  I think my exposure was set a bit high but in the moment, with no idea how long this Hawk was going to hang around, I just started snapping away.  I'm happy with them but more so how much time I got to watch him in the tree and even hunt in the brush right in front of me.

Thanks!

John, how'd yours turn out when I ran into you, and most likely the same Hawk, about 30 mins after this?  He was something to watch, eh.

After reading the comments from some others through John's (Zed) post of his pics.  I am once again confused.  

While I took these pics about a half hour before running into John and what was most likely the same Hawk  (it went the same way as me); I was certain about it being a Sharpie.  It was quite small (so I thought).

I am happy for the up close sighting regardless.  But thanks to those more knowledgeable on clearing this up.
