Good Morning Jeff

Seems like many of us have a resident hawk at their feeders....mine is a red tail.....FEW of us get captures like this!! #10539434

A beauty, Jeff. I agree with Mel. You have to be lucky to see one, and skilled to get a capture like this.

They do wreak havoc in a back yard, don't they? #10539439
