Yesterday was cold but there wasn't a cloud in the sky when this Sharp-shinned Hawk showed up in a neighbor's yard. Yakima county, Washington. IMG_9980

Debated between Cooper's hawk and Sharp-shinned hawk. Had settled on Cooper's hawk but was happy to be corrected as it is a lifer for me. It was perched on a branch overlooking a large bird feeder and was not at all bothered by my presence.

Believe this to be a juvenile sharp-shinned. Am open to any opinions or thoughts on ID.

This is four different shots of the same hawk blended into one.

 

They are just a bit bigger than the bluejays they are hunting so the jays usually can out maneuver them. However this week there is a family of three hawks that come by every morning and it's a bit overwhelming for the jays. They screech like heck when they are on the attack but sitting still they have a soft sweet chirp. Hard to believe the difference.

Best look I had at her beak and talons.

 

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Fly Day! :)

Looks like it's going to be a great weekend to turn off the

news, and head outside with the camera... :]

 

HFDF! :)

 

This bird, if it is the same bird that I photographed in poor light this morning showed up a 2nd time today. The light was much better this afternoon and I was closer to the bird but the shepherds hook that holds one of my feeders was between me and the bird. IMG_6755

 

I have trouble keeping up and thanking everyone individually so I hope you will accept this generic "thank you." I would like to thank everyone who takes the time to view, comment and fave my photographs. It is greatly appreciated and encouraging.

 

I am disappointed in the price increase here at Flickr but will stick around and hope the most of the will also be here next year.

Despite their tendency to non-stop motion, this little guy hung around just long enough for a profile shot. A sharp-tailed sandpiper (calidris acuminata) photographed at the edge of marshland in Kumana National Park, Sri Lanka. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography" - www.colin-pacitti.com.

I believe that this is the same bird that I photographed Jan.25 and again yesterday (Jan 26) in my front yard, Yakima County, Washington. Not here yesterday was 4 inches of snow that fell last night. From year to year the raptors must tell each other my yard is a good place to find a sparrow for breakfast, lunch, dinner or afternoon snack.

Low light, hand held

They are putting on extension growth and flowering - and even fruiting - a bit early

Saw this bird fly in so fast it was unreal, It perched on the tree for a few seconds and then left. I'm thinking it's a Sharpie, any thoughts ? Thanks for looking.
