I've been keeping an eye on this tree. Today when I came home I noticed this hawk there. I wonder how long they've been hanging out in that tree and I never noticed until the other week.
@grammyn Thank you Katy. I'm not sure what kind of tree it is. I wish I had a little longer lens to get the hawk a bit clearer. But I'm not going to buy one just for that. @johnfalconer Thanks John. No, it wasn't frozen to the tree. I tried to take a few more shots turned once and it wasn't there any more. I never saw it fly off. @kjarn Thanks Kathy. Late afternoon light, a cloudy-ish sky and those flower pods or whatever they are do look nice. @wakelys Yes, it's much bigger than the songbirds and crows but not the biggest hawk that flies around this area. @casablanca Yes. And someone I met shortly after my husband died told me if I saw a hawk, it was my husband checking on me. A comforting thought. @fbailey Thanks Felicity. I had time to get out of the car, go in the house and get my camera to get a few shots before it flew away. I've seen hawks in this tree lately. Maybe they've always hung out there and I just never noticed. @pusspup It's exciting to see it/them for me. @corinnec Thank you Corinne. @craftymeg Thank you Meg. @rensala Thank you. The sky was bright but cloudy which diffused the light. The hawk was lit with the sun going down. @haskar Thank you Hannah. @tunia I haven't fed birds in over a year, so I probably wouldn't notice. It is a shame that they are predators, but sometimes that's a good thing (mice, rats, etc.) Too bad they don't pick on those crazy peacocks that live behind me. I wouldn't mind if it would dive at them just to chase them off when they are in the yard. @shutterbug49 Thanks Debbie.
