Had just parked to go into work and this hawk landed right on my car. I'm pretty sure it's a young cooper's hawk but please correct me if i'm wrong. Super unafraid it wouldn't leave until i shooed it off, and was also seen on the back of my car hours later by a coworker.

This image was taken in Arizona in May of 2022. My grandpa is an avid bird photographer and has taken me with on many trips throughout my life, passing his knowledge on to me. I will be accompanying my grandparents on another trip to Arizona this upcoming spring and I hope we get to see this beautiful bird again.

A giant among hummingbirds, appropriately named the Giant Hummingbird. Few places offer as many opportunities to photograph this impressive bird as Ensifera ensifera. Perched, in flight, however you like!

Somehow or another I managed to see this guy perching not 25 feet from the walking path at a local park to me. He even sat there for the better part of 15 minutes and had attracted a small crowd watching him
