Cooper's Hawk
Burnaby BC, Canada

On my way to work this morning, I was about 1 km into my drive when I spotted this one sitting in a tree, just 12 feet up and next to the quiet residential road. I TORE home and grabbed the camera. Luck had him still there. I positioned my truck and snapped this one picture. After that it complained "Lens communication problem with body". Quick troubleshooting and turn back to shoot. GONE :(

So I get my first shot of my first sight of a Cooper's Hawk that has been scalped by a poorly placed branch, and fringed, probably by the fact that the lens wasn't 100% properly attached.

I guess that's life!

Yep.
Had my first shot of a robin in flight that looked clear & sharp on the lcd.
When I downloaded it wasn't on the card?
First time its happened but a bummer none the less.
Congratulations on this one though.
