You want to play? OK, look at full screen mode and as big as you can without blowing out the resolution. What do you see?? I do not manipulate photographs by overlaying two subjects into a single image (except for astrophotography), this was all about timing and luck! Accipiter cooperii,Coopers Hawk Click/tap to enlarge

        Not a mallard... think smaller, faster, more agile, and much more embolden! Posted 10 years ago

            Yes! Isn't that something? The behavior is very special. I know it was not protecting its nest as it was not nesting season. It was simply approaching the hawk out of curiosity or just territory dominance. Posted 10 years ago
