    Cooper's Hawk on Bobwhite

    Upper Texas Coast

    D800, 300, 1.4TC, ISO 320, f5, 1/1600

    When hawks are per-occupied with feeding, you can get quite close if you move very slowly. I was able to get low and belly crawl into position for this full frame image.

    I like the low angle, IQ, pose, BG, and feather adds interest. Top quality image Alan!
