Fortunately for my dear little songbirds, the hawk can't say the same ... because, once again, he flew off empty-taloned. ;)
Yes, I finally got a picture of the very large hawk* that drops by our feeders from time to time. I'm usually too busy shooing him away to get a picture, but this time I happened to be right beside the window, and my camera was within easy reach ...
So at long last I got him - though it is a rather grainy shot. It will do nicely for our nature notebooks, however.
*We are not sure what kind of hawk this is, but our best guess after consulting The Birds of New England is a Cooper's Hawk. If you have any thoughts on his (or her) identification, please drop me a note. Thanks!
