Back Yard Visit

I looked out the window yesterday afternoon to see this hawk sitting in a tree. By the time I got my camera in hand, he had moved down to sit on a post in the garden and from there, shortly after I took this shot, he made a play for a sparrow but missed. I was relieved not to witness a grisly death but, at the same time, realize that he has to eat too. Does it make me a coward to hope the he catches himself a meal but does it when I'm not looking?
wonderfully sharp

What a superb capture. I feel the same way...it’s nature and everyone has to eat...I’m not crazy about watching it though! :)

Wow! That’s a fabulous shot. No, I don’t think you’re a coward, you just don’t enjoy watching something be killed. I don’t either.

I just posted the same bird -- the Peregrine Falcon! Flew right through my yard. Quite impressive, aren't they?

Wonderful shot. I don't like to see them catch their meal either.
