This one however, was so far from me, I did not think a descent photograph would turn out. If you never view one and they are in your area, the noise they make will most certainly get your attention. It is almost like a loud shrill laughter~

A hawk was well in advance of gathering in it's meal just at dusk~
We have an occasional Sharp Shinned hawk visit the grove. In fact 2 years ago, even the neighbors asked what on earth was going on over here. A hawk was well in advance of gathering in it's meal just at dusk. There was easily over 100 birds making their panic noises in unison. I was not sure what was going on and took a look-see. There it was dethroning a Mourning Dove. It was so close, I could have reached up and touched the limb it was perched upon. It did not seemed bothered in the least by my presence.
