Description
Captured this Hawk today at the farm.I was taking bird pics down by the compost pile and marshy field edge. All was going great till this one showed up and basically shut down all bird activity! It landed on the pile that had some wooden crates and was looking for the sparrows that flew into the brush underneath it. I got 4 pics then it flew off. after about a 15 minutes the sparrows came out from underneath and continued feeding. well this guy comes swooping back in scares the dickens out of them. needless to say when he left so did the sparrows.. thus ending my morning bird shoot!

Quite a handsome young bird this is, sorry to hear that he scared the others away although he himself is a treat!

Hi Kylie,Thank you!
Nope you can't. Besides I'd rather have 4 neat hawk pics than 20 sparrow shots... I can always find the sparrows!
