I photographed this northern goshawk this spring while in the area photographing a great horned owl nest. This bird would occasionally come over to check us out and make sure we weren't getting too close to his nest.

EOS 1D, 600, 1.4X at ISO 250

Best of luck to NatureScapes!

Great "look over the shoulder", that eye has a piercing look to it!

So glad to see you here.

Hey Jim,

Good to see you here too.

This is a killer shot. That background is fantastic. Some added contrast on the bird may make it pop more, but its awesome as is.

Very nice, Jim. The eye is intense and keeps me looking at the image.

Great shot. It's nice to see the beautiful feathering that this guy has on his back. The sharp eye and beak send it over the top.
