Great photos Srupp! Love raptors. I have a buddy that has a bunch of them tax'd and mounted in his living and dining room. Got them from road kills and did the paper work thing and had them mounted. Gorgeous animals.

That is a real beauty. Nice shots. What camera and lens were you using to take the pics? I like the pic where it looks like he is winking at you.

Thanks d6dan....once I was told, I compared the Coopers with the Sharp Shined Hawk..I agree its a Sharp Shined..

Dirty the camera is a digital Nikon the body is a D200

the lens is a " AF-S NIKKOR 18-200 mm 1:3.5 -5.6 G ED " DX..LOL

when he has the one eye open is one of the first photos...I took 20..well that was his first look at me..as he was sound asleep...:biggrin:
