Backyard Wildlife: Hawk
Posted on June 30, 2010 Comments (8)
Nice view out my window from my desk today. This wonderful hawk landed on my deck and I was lucky enough to have my camera right next to me. It is so nice to be able to have this view instead of a view like the IT Crowd staff have in their basement IT office.
If you let me know what type of hawk you think this is that would be great – including links to an identification page would be appreciated too. Last time people helped identify a Sharp-shinned Hawk enjoying a meal. Enjoying nature in your back yard is a wonderful thing.

I wouldn’t be able to guess which hawk it is, but it’s definitely a great picture. It makes your day when something like that happens, doesn’t it!

[…] I think this is a Great Tailed Grackle, please comment if you think I am wrong. This is taken in my backyard in Arlington, Virginia. […]
