 Went for a walk with my camera this morning. There is a very quiet tree lined street with a pond near my home that I often get some exercise and enjoy the early morning. As I was approaching my home I heard the blue jays were making a lot of noise which usually means there is a hawk nearby. I slowed my pace and saw this Cooper's hawk on my fence. Surprisingly he did not notice me so I started shooting. This capture seemed perfect for this challenge. I do not think the smaller hawks bother with the squirrels but I have seen bird feathers in my yard on occasion.

Great moment, I wish you blurred the background a little bit more amongst the foliage, one of the better pics.
