Trying to get a hawk photo is a matter of right place right time. This young Cooper's Hawk landed on an electric wire. I had to drive around to a convenient place to park and snapped this. 

I was driving so I had to get to a place to capture the hawk.

He was looking around so I got a chance to capture it.

The whitetails travel through the field behind the house so you have to be in the right place at the right time to get a photo.

This doe was feeding so I got a chance to capture a photo.
