As I was reading the morning news the other day, I was startled by a small bird hitting the window. Always sad when that happens, but when I looked up I saw a larger bird land on the top of our fence. The hawk that was chasing the small bird was nervous about coming closer to the house. But it was still interested in the small bird … it hung around for a bit, but eventually flew off. But not before I had time to get my camera out and snap a few shots. I spent a bunch of time trying to determine if it was a Cooper’s Hawk or a Sharp-Shinned Hawk. My best guess (but still a guess) is Sharp-Shinned.


Lovely captures! Great that you were able to get those before it left.
Just sitting working on my morning puzzles…
What a beauty! The blue tones are amazing. I think it is a sharp-shinned hawk. Cooper’s hawks don’t show that much blue (or any, if I’m right).
Glad you agree with me… I hope that makes us right!
Very beautiful!! 😍
Thanks, John!
You’re welcome! ☺️
My favorite is the leaping hawk…
