Today's outtake

This might be the back-forty Sharp-shinned Hawk that thinks this is home. We couldn't quite instruct it to move back in order to capture a good profile shot.

And I have no idea what it thought looked so edible above me. My husband captured this to document the boldness.

Hmm, the eyes don't look red and I couldn't quite see the tail to make certain this isn't a Cooper's Hawk. But the blurry feathers on the breast indicate a Sharp-shinned Hawk, according to www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Sharp-shinned_Hawk/overview. I'll go with the one we see most often here, but a juvenile—the Sharp-shinned Hawk, the smallest hawk in Canada and the United States and a daring, acrobatic flier.
