This image is a bit soft,but I thought the photo of this coopers hawk hunting in the bushes was worth showing. The hawk is the same one in my earlier post. Its hunt was not sucessful. It was difficult to get a sharp focus due to all of the small branches in the way, I had switched from auto to manual.

Canon T3i
1/400 @ F5.6 ISO 400
EF 70-300 IS USM @ 300mm
Manual focus, spot meter
IS on HH, shot through a amber tinted window.
Converted from RAW

Hard to judge sharpness in the small version, but it looks OK from here. Nice behavior shot, don't see this very often.
