OMG, HAWK closeup
Just swooped down onto my waterer which is located 6 inches from my window, and I am 6 inches from the other side. It came down and caught a House Sparrow, then stared at me, then flew off before I could lift the camera up. Beautiful close up. AWESOME.
Just had to share. Drake. EDIT: It is a Sharp shinned Hawk. |

I love watching my red-tails and red shouldered hawks. I have about 4 hawks and one kestrel that I can find on my daily 5 mile trips to the barn. The each have their own perches and hunting areas. Maybe your hawk will make your yard part of its daily rountine.

I'll keep repeating this as I think it is on target:
If you can come to terms with a hawk preying on your songbirds, then you have arrived at being a naturalist.

Good thought, KC. Guess I've become a naturalist, then.
-25 -- that's so cool about the Sharpie. Hope he sticks around for you.

Naturalist, you folks say it like it is a bad thing.
I figure she will eat anyways. I also said, which is mean, but at least it was just a House Sparrow, not anything else. I feel so guilty. I have basically set up a serving tray for this hawk. LOL. |
