Photographed this pair in Wheat Ridge the other day. Does not really compare to Bill's image.
Never seen hawks mate before.

Canon 1D Mark2
Sima 500mm f/4.5 lens

Geez, now we need parental advisories for our photo posts??? At least now we know why the Cooper's hawk crossed the road.

Looks like it was good to be a Cooper's hawk the other day. Those hawks are gettin' down!

Can you attach a MIDI file that automatically plays some cheesey 70's porn music?

Looks like a dangerous position.

Were these the ones you were after over the weekend in PP?

It is interesting that the female is a sub-adult.

Nice work, Dan. Lots of hours or incredible luck to get a shot like this - my bet is it's the long hours for you!
