This guy flew in when I was taking shots of the feeder birds. I've got to prune those maples!

Photography is my only pathological addiction; hopefully it won't drive me to something worse. :rolleyes: :oops:

Nice one Carl. Those branches are a problem. Last weekend I had one sit on a branch on the other side of a tree trunk about 12 feet from me. I couldn't see a thing! :(

I did get a clear shot later though. :)

Great color and contrast in the bird. The branches are a nuissance but the important thing is you captured a nicely focused hawk in his natural surroundings ...nice!

Thanks again. I was lucky to be out there when he showed up. Incidentally, the little white specs you see in the shot are snowflakes.
