From a fairly magical encounter, a close-up image of a Cooper’s I was very lucky to get close to. While I normally have a pretty high sense of my stalking abilities, this was pure luck. I happened upon the bird, in a moment of alertness (on both our parts), and had sufficient cover to secure images before retreating with the stealth I usually use for approaching birds. It stayed on its perch, none the wiser.
