bighomer, were you able to make an I.D. of the hawk?

Sorry Q S I didn't get back to you
I didn't get back on this thread till this morning. That's a infamous chicken hawk i.e. a Cooper imho. They say in my bird book that sharp-shinned hawks are in this area they look alot alike in the pictures, but I'm going with Cooper .

Gorgeous blue sky behind the bird Homer. Great shot and love those little hawks too.

Thanks.
He /she wears my feeders out, I was lucky to get that photo, happen to pull up in the back yard in my pickup to put birdfood into my containers and he was in the tree just a few feet away, It amazes me how wild animals and birds will show very little fear of you in or on a vehicle, but will get the heck out of dodge when you hit the ground walking..

Thank you bighomer. I'm not very good at identifying hawks other than red-tails, kestrels, and marsh hawks.

45 minutes can make a difference fellers. We've had a flurry.

[Quick Steel]

A little while ago I was marveling at all the greenery in your photos. Now...welcome to the club.

Cool bunch of photos, Homer. I was kind of hoping to get a flurry or two this week. No luck!

There are quite a few birds in my back yard.

Mel if I were a publisher I would make a book of your bird photography.

[Quick Steel]

I agree with doglegg. Your bird photos are first class. Great shots Mel.
