The local Coopers Hawk came in to scope our suet feeder in hopes of shopping for a songbird or two. They were onto him, and stayed out of sight. The alpha squirrel queen - who regularly scolds at cats and at us for daring to walk dogs under her tree - decided to run up to the hawk's perch and give him trouble. A brief stare-down ensued, and she decided to give him the rest of his trouble from a little farther away.<br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17647375-lg.jpg" alt="" width="461" height="700" /><br /> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17647376-lg.jpg" alt="" width="521" height="700" /><br /> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17647377-lg.jpg" alt="" width="487" height="700" /><br /><br />Shot with a D600 at ISO 1600 and 1/400th with a 70-200/2.8 at f/4 and 200mm.<br /><br />Photographed any diplomatic tension or other territorial friction?

User_6502147 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 <p>Hey Matt, love the depiction of the standoff. That's some nerve! Mine is little less dramatic, but there is this teasing going on (almost like "I dare you, spider"....and the fly is ready to rip into air.....even on the tiniest move.</p> <p> </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Shafer Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 <p>Great pictures, Matt!</p> <p>No territorial friction here, I think—these two are buddies. I shot them during a snowstorm when there wasn't a lot of light. D800E, 24-70, ISO 3200, 1/500 @ f/2.8. 1/500 wasn't fast enough, really—will try again on a brighter day.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawsonPointers Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 <p>Greetings from the depths of northern Ontario. <br /> It was -37C here on New Year's Day morning, -45C on the 2nd and -43C on the 3rd.<br /> This is what it looks like outside when it's -45C. A temperature inversion (colder at ground than aloft) traps the exhaust from furnaces and cars at ground level.<br /><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17647574-md.jpg" alt="What -45C looks like" width="680" height="642" border="0" /><br /> This is how Hattie and Harry(top) handle the cold.<br /><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17647573-lg.jpg" alt="Hattie and Harry @-45" width="467" height="700" border="0" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
