Cooper's Hawk Perched on White Branch in Winter

A Cooper's Hawk sits prominently on a weathered white branch, photographed from behind at eye level. The bird's rusty-brown barred plumage is clearly visible, with black and white striped tail feathers. Its head is turned to look directly at the camera with characteristic piercing yellow eyes. The background shows blurred evergreen trees, creating natural bokeh that isolates the subject. The bare branches and muted winter colors suggest this was captured during the cold season.
