Squirrel, Coopers Hawk. Coopers Hawk, Squirrel

Right place, right time. People who know Coopers Hawks and squirrels will

realize that this was very unlikely to end badly for the squirrel - the Coopers

don't usually go for anything that big. But if I were a tree rodent, I still

wouldn't want to take my chances with those talons.

Very nice shot. Indeed an awkward moment well captured. Congrats, Wobby.

Close encounter! Daring little animal! Well done.

Hi Matt,

One has to love that eye contact!

Cheers,

I generally abhor the anthropomorphizing of animals.  But, in this instance, I am compelled to say that the looks on each of these critter's faces are just priceless. Outstanding capture!

Lots of great images in your portfolio, but this is one of my favorites. A rare moment well captured.

Unlikely perch pals for sure. Nicely done.
