We've got a new visitor around the house. At first I thought it's a hawk, but I guess it's a sparrowhawk. And those are hunting small birds instead of mice. 😩
Cooper’s hawk encounter. One feels kinda small when you get up close and personal with a raptor type of bird. ISO 200 shutter speed 1/50 to 1/70 and Fstop 5.6.
This is my second attempt posting this, my apologies if this posts twice.
Unusual sighting so close to our house. East Tx I have seen hawks like this before but not so close, especially by the house. It swooped in front of our windows twice. Saw it ready to go after a small skunk. My guess with Merlins help is Red-shouldered Hawk. #photography#birdphotography#hawk
Hawk In A Close Fly By by Debra Martz I watched this Red-shouldered Hawk from the edge of the road, taking a few photos as it searched the ground for prey. It then turned and looked directly into my eyes momentarily, then flew by extremely close as it moved to the opposite side of the road...I got back in the truck, left it to its hunting, and continued to Goose Island State Park in southern Texas for some more bird watching.
