This awesome creature sits patiently on the stiles between our garden and our neighbor's, hoping to spot a rabbit or toad. Most commonly seen in the mornings when i'm sipping my coffee by the kitchen window. I have a feeling it's the presence of the gardens that is making the hawk come around. And we also suspect there's a hawk's nest somewhere out in the back. I took a few pictures a few days ago and they didn't turn out too good because I had looked out the window with the mesh screen (totally stupid!)
After a few identifications, I think we have ourselves a Red-Shouldered Hawk here. First of all, it's the most common one in these Eastern parts, and also it looks and sounds just like one... so
What do you think?
You have a guardian hawk. How cool is that!
