I was startled to see this hawk and did not think I would be able to get him at all. After all I was stopped in the middle of the road and grabbing for my camera. I just have to live with the fact that he wanted to play peek-a-boo from behind that branch rather than pose for a really good portrait!
I'm enclosing this blurry one because I was amazed that as soon as I clicked my camera "Cooper" seemingly did a backflip off that branch to fly away.
It's really a good thing I'm surrounded by rural roads because I was stopped in the middle of the road when I took this one too. If you look closely or enlarge the image I think you can see his red tail.
I think he was more interested in the chickens in the yard below him than he was in me. I was able to get another shot of him in his lofty position.
