Sharp shinned hawk, stalking my birds!
Was thrilled to get this hawk land right in front of my dining room doors. Notice the straight across tail, with slight notch, which helps distinguish it from the larger Cooper's hawk, which has a well rounded tail. He pulled up one claw .. probably to keep warm from the icy branch. (We had freezing rain last night! ) Shot through the window. Large for detail.
NOTE: Please check out my contact Ric McArthur. He has posted the most incredible shot of a Pine Martin. Really superb!
