Sorry to post again so quickly after yesterday's post.



I wanted to ask if I have the identification of this Hawk right? I believe
because the tail is slightly rounded, because the eyes are set forward and
there's a wide white band at the base of the tail that this is a Cooper's
Hawk, not a Sharp Shinned Hawk. Can you take a few seconds and look at the
photos and confirm it for me?

I finally learned how to adjust the ISO on my camera, so I could go to a
faster film speed. This gave me the option of having high-contrast shot with
small depth of field, or bright photos (for plumage with great depth of
field).



I updated the home page, so you can eventually browse by date and species:

Thank you all for your comments to me privately and your praise. That is
most kind. There is s bird photography course next week someone sent me
information about that I hope to attend!
