A few weeks ago, I was upstairs, and Dave yelled up to me to get my camera. There was a hawk in the fence.
By the time I got down, the hawk had flown off. But Dave got a picture with his cell phone.
Can you see it? I had a good giggle when he sent it to me. I’m going to have to teach him how to use the zoom feature.
About a week later, I went out front to check on the gardens, and all of a sudden he flew off from the top of the arbour. I barely even caught sight of him.
But then a few days later, I was working away in the office, and guess who appeared in the tree outside my office window.
During the day, I keep the camera in the office with me just incase anyone interesting stops by. It’s usually just the jays and the sparrows. I certainly wasn’t expecting him!
I’m not sure if he’s a Sharp-Shinned or a Cooper’s Hawk. He was on the small side, so I’m leaning towards a Sharpie.
He hung out for a good 10 minutes and then flew off. I haven’t seen him since, but I hope he visits again.

We can always tell when the hawk is coming to our back yard because all the little birds abandon their feeders and disappear. Great pictures you got of your hawk. Dave’s picture, well, his heart was in the right place.

While in the wilds of Ohio last week, I noticed a few hawks on the wires, looking over the fields.
As we were zooming past, there was no chance for a pic, but they are wonderful raptors to see.

We’ve got the same kind that comes and sits on our deck from time to time. It’s too fast to get a photo. It scares the stuffing out of me sometimes.

He’s a find fellow! I see them often when driving through a farm area near us. They are so regal looking. On your embroidery journey, check out Colonial Knots, I prefer them to French Knots. https://www.embroidery.rocksea.org/stitch/knots/colonial-knot/

Yes, he is a mighty predator! (Dave can edit on his phone to zoom in there when you don’t remember to do so before hand!)
