I captured this frame a few weeks ago. I did not have much time for photography in 2018 as I was busy with our newborn but I tried to make the best out of the few opportunities I had. The juvenile Cooper's hawk in flight was a first for me. This was a lone bird that popped out of nowhere at close range and zipped through the field. It happened only once and I got 4-5 frames of him, all sharp on the head, thanks to the Nikon D850's excellent AF system and this one had a good wing position too! Glad to share it with you and looking forward to more in 2019.
