A SURPRISE VISITOR

I stayed home today from work...have a bad sinus infection but I'm feeling better tonight. Anyway, I had just viewed Kevin Sargent's hawk that he posted today and then went to the back door to let the dog out and this Sharp-Shinned Hawk was just sitting on my fence. I had never seen one of these before. I ran to get the camera and got off a couple of shots through the window in the backdoor. I think Kevin sent it my way. Thanks to lady_d for identifying this!

Woohoo! You did way better than me. That's a species I don't recognize as well. Maybe Herbert or Greg can indentify it. OF COURSE, I have to V
