Details UNCOMMON
Notes Much excitement in our house: I caught a glimpse of a brown & white tail through the family room window, then followed into the kitchen & saw this hawk perched in one of our crabapple trees. Never saw one so close before. I think it's a Cooper's, but it could be a Sharp-shinned - am not sure. This photo was taken outside when my husband snuck around the side of the house. It showed no fear of him and after about 5 - 10 minutes, it leisurely flew away, low over the neighbor's backyard.
Weather Sunny. -14C.

Cool shot. I usually have one visiting my feedings but has not appeared lately.
