That is fabulous! Either you were using a really long lens, or that's one very focused bird. Unusual to find one so close to the ground perched like that. Usually they're up where they can command a wider view. Lucky you!
Great photo. We have hawks here but I am not sure if we have that kind. We also have ravens out back and I worry about the chickens now and then, but so far no trouble.
That's a beautiful shot, Pamela. We have a Cooper's hawk that visits our neighborhood on occasion (and usually manages to nab a songbird or two). Hope I can get as clear a shot next time.
Gorgeous photo! We get hawks here and they drive the Robins insane getting into their nests. It's a bit heartbreaking to sit on the deck and see one go after a nest with baby Robins in it. Nature sucks sometimes. But not when Hawks are sitting on fences like this. Hawks are gorgeous like this!
