Comment by MelonMusketeer:
This does look pretty cool. He looks a lot like "Road Runner" of the cartoon variety. That's good focus and sharpness right on the bird though.

Green Herons are cool to shoot but so rare around my parts.

That's technically a very good shot, as well as a very interesting subject. I don't think that I have ever observed wasps exactly like these in this area.

Nicely captured feather patterns.

I would concur about this more likely being a Coopers hawk.

"What's Love Got To Do With It" by Tina Turner

You must understand
That the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill
Of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract

It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore
That it means more than that

etc

I am not an entymologist, but I am not sure love is part of their biology. :-)

Nice capture.

Hi Mary, Nice shot of the hawk. I always take pix of Hawks no matter how high they are. You really have nice light on this one. I don't think Red Tail hawks have bands on their tail feathers. It could be a Coopers hawk.
