Great hawk! I've noticed a few around here, but they are so very Ratty looking. So dirty and scraggly and ruffled. They fit into the environment perfectly!
That is a gorgeous photo, especially for a first time attempt.
I'm calling that a Cooper's Hawk, which you tend to see zipping through wooded areas near backyard bird feeders this time of year. They like to munch on songbirds.
Beautiful, athletic, acrobatic birds. Thank you for the photo.
you never forget your first hawk! A great shot. I haven't been by your blog in a while; I get so nervous before a wedding shoot I can't do much but sit and WORRY!!
Let us savour the swfit delights of the most beautiful of our days.
I'll say it again...what a day you had!

ReplyDeleteWonderful shot of the hawk, Kerri!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! I love getting pictures of hawks. They are plentiful here in Upstate NY. Interesting -- my niece is a graduate of Radford U.
ReplyDeleteThe hawk and gull are spectacular shots.
ReplyDeleteWow you took a lot of pictures!!
I was surrounded by gulls the other day in a parking lot.
Oh my, he is truly beautiful! They are such majestic birds. You captured him so wonderfully. :) Theresa
ReplyDeleteOh and what a beauty it is. We have a few hawks scouting my back yard on occasion. It makes for quiet bird feeders this winter.
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous picture.

How exciting, Kerri! That's a wonderful shot, very broodingly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful catch!
ReplyDeleteThe clarity and pose are terrific! Did you tell it to turn its head?
ReplyDeleteNice! I'm hoping to head North here in a month or two to catch some eagles. I've never captured a click of one. You inspire me to try!
ReplyDeleteHe's quite lovely and a magnificent hunter I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteG-g-g-g-orgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThe quote is great, considering the day that brought you this photo-op.
ReplyDeleteWow surely you were completely excited about the encounter and quite happy to see this nice picture on your computer. The picture is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThe darker coloration threw me off, but like jatkin, I'll go with Cooper's due to the tail. Wonderful shot Kerri!
