He’s beautiful! I clicked on your link because I noticed that it said “Maine”- what part of Maine are you from?

Mine’s up

Very nice capture. Very crisp. It seems like the hawk is posing for your photo.

He’s a beaut! I’m fascinated by hawks. I don’t like that certain hawks kill my little feeder songbirds but they are very regal, as much so as eagles, I think.

Lovely photo. I am still learning how to take a good bird photo. Right now I’ve not had time for birding but the migrants are beginning to arrive. I’ll keep my eyes peeled.
We had a Cooper’s Hawk in my backyard a couple of years ago. It was amazing to see. I see bird remnants from time to time so he/she probably still hunts here.

Great shot! I love how you caught him in those beautiful pines! I am curious as to what kind of camera you use?

I have a sharp shinned hawk hanging around my yard attacking the birds at the feeder from time to time but I haven’t gotten a photo this nice yet. Love the background.
