Male Cooper’s Hawk

While the female incubating, the male Cooper’s hawk stands guard nearby for territory and nest defense during day time. I watch this aerial predator up close, on a perch about 10-12 feet high within minimum focus distance of my bare 500mm and he is intimidated by my presence at all.
