Coopers Hawk at York U

I took a walk around a woodlot at York U today and tried out a borrowed Minolta Dimage camera. I was hoping for a good shot of a Cardinal since they have been singing up a storm around the university. Instead I stumbled upon a Coopers Hawk that was glaring at me with a big red eye from a tree branch. We stared at each other for a few minutes until he hopped down onto a log and did a little line dance.

We see plenty of Turkey Vultures arcing above the Ross Building. Hadn't seen a Coopers at York before, though. Beautiful plummage!
