Thank you kindly! We have Cooper's hawks and red-tailed hawks that frequently inhabit the Las Vegas area. I am still learning the subtle differences that distinguish these two beautiful raptors.

You're very welcome! It gets easier to ID them after you have seen them enough times. That's awesome you have them around you

I think we surprised each other! I came around a corner and saw this beauty resting on the railing and managed to get a few shots in before my friend flew off. It's always an adrenaline rush to get a great photo opportunity, especially the fleeting ones!

hehe yeah, so often I will see that and my camera's still trying to focus when they fly off.
