cool, perhaps a coopers hawk.
do you have a bird feeder nearby??

 

[ChrisPL68]

There are no bird feeders near our house. We have lived in this house for over twenty years and have never seen a hawk like this one near our house. There are plenty of cardinals and blue jays.

My best guess would be an immature coopers hawk.


This is the closest thing I could find.

they like to prey on smaller birds.
so the cardinals and jays may be of interest, especially if there is a nest anywhere near.

There used to be a lot of squirrels to, but not so much lately.

I would say it's a juvenile Coopers. It seems to big for a Sharp-shinned. Also the spots on a juvenile Sharp-shinned look more blurred, and it's legs aren't that thick. Beautiful photo, thanks for sharing.

It was a lucky shot. We had just changed the type of curtains on the windows and doors that face the deck, which made it easier to see onto the deck. My wife's camera was in the desk close to the window when I noticed the hawk. I asked her to very slowly hand me the camera. I was about 15 feet from it when I took the photo.

Turkey’s still roosting. It was a cold day, (~5F, -15C,) with light snow all day.

Not sure if I've posted these before, pair of short eared owls were hunting not far from us, managed to get a few shots.

Finally got a replacement for the camera I sold last year due to ill health, I'm still pretty rough but managed a an hour or so out with it yesterday.

It’s fun to see the European birds we don’t get over here. What are the two that aren’t sparrows or starlings?
