Bigma does Coopers Hawk (1 Viewer)

Wife was looking out the kitchen window this morning and realized we had an early morning visitor having breakfast in our backyard..

Didn't have time to do much more than pop a SD card in, mount the Bigma and try to prop against the door sill. Wish I had thought to change over from P-auto to shutter-priority as the problematic back lighting and shade kept me in the 1/60-1/100 shutter range. About 125' to subject and ~50% cropped FOV. Not the best IQ but an unexpected opportunity...
