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

Thank you Cindy!

I live along the mid-coast on the peninsula south of Bath, Maine.

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.

Thanks Dawn!

Slowly but surely, it is melting and breaking up.

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.

Thank you Sarala!

I bet the Cooper’s was a sight to behold.

Great capture of the magnificent hawk!!! It looks so regal perched in the tree.

14 kaholly March 19, 2009 at 5:05 am

A real beauty.

15 John T. March 19, 2009 at 5:43 am

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.

16 Kathiesbirds March 19, 2009 at 6:05 pm

What a beauty! So different from our SW version here!
