This sharp shinned hawk was sitting around, hoping for lunch earlier today.

That Hawk is very neat looking.
All we get here are possum, or the neighborhood cats.

No pic of it but had a Cooper's hawk in tree outside my window the other day.Large female I guess due to subdued camo like colors. Not a damn thing moved in the yard for a long time.
Nice birds!

Nice, the only birds we tend to get are really fat pigeons. We did have 4 foxes in the garden over Christmas. They didn't do much other than play in the mud, but it was still pretty cool
