Real cool. Especially nice that he paused for a few poses. Bad day to be a chipmunk behind Casa Rohas.

When he took off, he was after something in the tall grass. Don’t think he got it.

According to the ‘peep, it’s a red shouldered hawk. Big bird!

Nice.  We have one that swoops down on exepecting squirrels or chipmunks.  There's a couple red tails over by the boat ramp too.  They hunt the area around the sculls.  Very cool raptors

Cool! Were you just sitting out on your deck with a glass of whiskey, stogie, and camera in hand?

I happened to see him from the kitchen window and quickly got my DLSR camera. Took a bunch of shots form the deck.

Thanks...unfortunately, there was no sun to bring out the colors. I was using a new lens (new to me) which helped get the close ups.

It looked like a stand off this morning!

But the hawk never attacked, just flew away after a few minutes.

Re: I had a visitor today

Pest Now came by today to check on our mouse bait boxes. They were clear of activity...he was happy. But I told him the real winner was this guy.

The tree in the background is a Kwanzan Cherry, just like the cherry blossom trees in DC. I bought that tree for $175 back in 1994, when we moved in. It was listed at $400 but it was end of season thus a good price. It has grown up to be quite the attraction in the back of my house...for 7-10 days each year.
