Sometimes doing a good deed leads to danger. I feed the birds behind my place in colder weather. I put out seed this morning and did not hear them. I wondered what was going on. After I looked out the window a few times I saw this hawk. It appeared small to me. I am guessing it is a Copper’s hawk as they are known to hang out by bird feeders and a neighbour has a feeder out as well.
I don’t think he scored any of the local wildlife. About a half hour later he was gone and the birds were back to eating the seed. With the pandemic, my travels involve places to see wildlife within a few hours. Hopefully, things will slow down soon with the vaccines coming out. Stay safe and stay healthy!

Yes, he is. I see a lot of hawks perched along the highway in winter. I guess they are looking for roadkill or some unlucky animal that decides to go out in the open. Bird feeders must be an easy target for them.

Nice shots! I need to learn to identify hawks. They visit our yard frequently to check out the bird feeders but never stay long. And it’s hard to see them clearly through a window when they’re up in a tree in the yard, even with binoculars.

I am just guessing it is a Cooper’s. I am not good at identifying them. He was not phased at all by me coming out through my sliding glass door and ignored me. I think he was there a while considering the birds usually go to eat after I leave seed out, and I heard no noise for a while.
