    My resident hawk, a view from the deck

    Pardon the crappy picture quality and over-processing but I grabbed my camera quickly and just snapped a few quick shots. This was just after a storm rolled through so the light sucked as it was still cloudy and drizzly but I have always said a bad picture is better than no picture!
    We are still trying to figure out if it is a Sharp Shinned hawk or a Cooper's Hawk, they are very similar and hard to distinguish, especially juveniles like this one. Leaning towards a Sharpie though, opinions are welcome. Anyway, here is my pet hawk. LOL

    Re: My resident hawk, a view from the deck

    Pretty I was going to say Cooper's also. We have them around here in some places; though redtails are more popular. Usually I admit that it is hard to tell them apart when, say, you're driving by at 65 miles an hour. We had some redtails nesting here last year but they have moved on or something.

    Re: My resident hawk, a view from the deck

    Don't worry, no snakes allowed out here
    We have a goodly number of hawks around, lots of red tails and either or both Cooper's and Shinnies, there is also a Peregrine falcon, I so wish I could get a picture of it!! That would be neat for sure.
    What I meant about bad pictures was that I used a 300mm zoom and had the shutter speed at 2000 to prevent shake 'cause I don't have a tripod, and even if I did I wouldn't have had time to get it and set up. Since it was set so fast and it was so dreary out they were dark so I had to lighten them a ton so they are not at all crisp, clean and true to color...I'm extremely pleased with them overall though.
