    Waiting and Watching for Breakfast

    Sharp-shinned Hawk — This hawk sat near my feeder area for 23 minutes waiting for a careless sparrow or finch. I had the chance to make many shutter clicks and here is one. I’m not confident identifying some hawks, so if this might be something else, please comment. It’s about the size of a dove...

    Juvenile Sharp-shinned hawk

    Almost positive on ID for several reasons. First is size. When I first saw him, he was sitting on our deck railing, and launched into the pine tree. My immediate thought was "Kestrel". Then "Nope, wrong color". Second is the square tail, and the rounded head. Third is when he launched from the...

    Never put your camera away until you are off the shooting grounds, lol. This Sharp Shined Hawk was perched near my trail exit as I left the park yesterday. Was a great evening shoot as I added 6 birds to my list, this sharpie included! :)

    ...I think. Could be the very similar Cooper's hawk, but I'll go with a Sharpie for now. Always exciting to see one because their appearances are rare and unpredictable.

    Hawk, flying

    This is one of the three hawks that were born in our farm. One week after this picture (she was 8 weeks old), departed with her sister and brother, as well as their parentes, out of our farm. First time ever they nested with us, but very often we spotted this species winter time. watch video at...

    Morning Visitor

    Woken up this morning by whining dogs. When I went to the glass patio doors and looked down this fellow was on his/her back, looking very dead. Threw some outdoor clothes on, and when I got back to the door he was standing up. Quickly got the camera and went outside through the front of the...

    Sharp-Shinned Hawk (male)

    There is an unfortunate consequence to feeding birds in the yard: raptors. There will be long periods of time that I will be away from Wofford Hts., but upon return I always take my time to inspect the area for signs of visitors: racoons, squirrels, bobcats, deer; they always leave tracks. But...
