0.000 HBDA Bird of Prey Hiding in My Backyard
On this November day as I was walking past my window I spotted a dark figure slightly hidden, perched in a tree. This dark figure was a hawk waiting patiently and stealth-fully for dinner to land nearby. <center>http://i.imgur.com/UHXV9Yp.jpg</center> Wanting to know what kind of hawk was perched in my backyard I grabbed my cell phone and tried to get a better view. <center>http://i.imgur.com/xr5PLdV.jpg</center> It appeared to be either a Sharp-Shinned Hawk or a Cooper's Hawk. Both of these hawks are common to this area of Nebraska. At this point I am leaning more toward a Cooper's Hawk but I could be wrong. When I attempted to sneak even closer for a better view, I startled the hawk and it flew away. No dinner for that hawk in my backyard today! # Project FeederWatch [Project FeederWatch](http://feederwatch.org) starts next weekend. I will have my Canon camera setup to take pictures next weekend. It can take much better pictures of elusive birds. # Image Sources: Both images taken today with a Samsung SM-N920V camera in my Galaxy Note 5 cell phone, F/1.9, ISO-40 <center>http://i.imgur.com/9gdIGRh.png</center> <center>*If you like this post, you can upvote, follow, and re-steem this post.
