This is Gregg's photo of the hawk that got our local crows all agitated yesterday. I need an expert's help for a definite ID, but from photos I saw online, I thought it might be a Juvenile Sharp-shinned Hawk. Any help would be greatly appreciated. You can see more information at this website.
(Added note: 8-24-23 at 3:41 p.m. Cloudia from Comfort Spiral thinks this might be a Cooper's Hawk and also sent a link. I am sharing it here. Thanks so much for the help Cloudia.)
He hasn't returned and we have several smaller feathered friends visiting. They are enjoying the bird bath. The clever little things seem to know when a bird of prey is around. I loved seeing it and it needs to survive, but am glad our local crows objected and it moved on.
It was a wonderful morning when I went outside early. It actually felt like Autumn was on the way, so cool and fresh. The lowest temperature was 65 degrees Fahrenheit and it certainly felt like it, even a little cooler perhaps. It is going to get up to 81 degrees today.
My Snickersville Turnpike post will be shared tomorrow, where you can see the original photo of the red barn from the ArtCard result here.
Have a great day everyone and thanks
so much for stopping by.
