Predator

Just getting ready to go out to do some shopping yesterday, and noticed a hawk perched in the trees in the back yard. Grabbed my point and shoot camera and tried a few shots, but they didn't come out very well. So, I quickly set-up my spotting scope and tried to get some shots through that, and this was the best one (through the very dirty skylight in the solarium ):



Certainly not as good as Adrian's bird photos, but it was the best I could do with the equipment I had. Checking my field guide, this appears to be a Broad-Winged Hawk.

Hopefully the squirrels and rabbits were in hiding!
