Shot few weeks ago. I was spending time with GH-Owls in the woods when one fledgling landed really close to me to the right.
I took of my TC-301 (2.0X TC). Shortly after this Cooper's Hawk landed on same branch where owl was 7-8 feet apart. Hawk was noise and make small movements towards the owl trying to intimidate ...no luck. Owl didn't not care at all...zero fear and went back to sleep. Hawk's ego got crushed and flew away. There was no question here who the boss was. Owl would eat that hawk for a dinner. I have seen this behavior in the same woods between Cooper's Hawks and Great-horned Owls before. Owls never showed any fear of the Cooper's Hawks. D3s, 500mm f/4 P ED IF 1/160, ISO-5000, f/5, handheld. Please click on the image for uncompressed view, thank you. |
