I've really been enjoying these pictures.
Reminiscent of a warmer season in southern Michigan.

Here's a cooper's hawk from a day or two ago. It was really high up in a cottonwood tree.

i wish I had my camera rn !!!!! I saw a bald eagle and a hawk going at it and the sky is clear and perfect blue

Wow, that must have been incredible to watch; I would have loved to see that! I haven't seen a single bald eagle yet this year.

Red headed woodpecker. It was pretty long range with a Canon PowerShot SX530 HS.

This roadrunner let me get really close. I had just missed a shot of it eating a beetle.

About 45 minutes ago I was headed in to work and I was driving down the causeway when I saw an eagle dive bombing a big raft of coot right near the bank. I pulled off the side of the road and dug around through my hunting gear and finally got my camera. I knew I had to lower the exposure compensation to -1/3 or -2/3 but I was drawing a blank and couldn't remember how to adjust it in all the excitement, lol. He never gave me a break to mess with the camera and kept dive bombing them, so I kept on shooting. After about 1 minute it was all over and he flew off never catching one. I blew the highlights on every picture unfortunately. He was always flying away and never really flew in my direction when dive bombing them so none of the pics had the best potential anyway. Of course as soon as he flew off I remembered.. hold down the set button while scrolling the wheel. Hopefully there's 1 or 2 salvageable pics. I'll try and post some tonight.....

Here's several pics straight out of the camera, all over exposed. He never really flew towards me when diving on them unfortunately. I will be better prepared next time.....
