against sparrows. I was out letting the air out of my feed thiefs. Apparantly the fluttering wings attracted my little friend here. I was sniping from a bush and he landed in it. I jsut froze and watched him at four feet and tthought how cool would it be if I had my camera now. He finally left and I moved on. Well he followed me. So I ran into the house. The kids exclaim, whats daddy going to kill now. Grabbed my photo card and headed out. OF COURSE he was gone. Well I started shooting again and here he comes.....................

Is that a Sharp Shinned Hawk? Just guessing...It's been 16 years since I took ornithology in school.

I have no idea. I assumed some sort of Kestrel or Sparrow Hawk.

Definitely not a kestrel. Maybe a sparrow hawk.

Great pics Bones, what setup do you use to shoot (camera body and lense). Just curious, i'm just getting started in the photography world with a canon rebel xti and am looking to upgrade to some higher quality lenses.

I had the Canon 40D and the 400mm 2.8 canon lens. Practically overgunned on this guy as he was right at my focal distance

that is cool, I though you were getting into falconry or something. I have heard that it can be a lot of fun.

He has been hanging around all summer and fall. I think a pair might have even nested out here. I imagine he takes his share of Quail, but I always see him chasing sparrows. I feed millions of them I swear. I feel like the guy int he Sniper movie with this pellet rifle. Today he apparantly bridged the gap of not caring if I exist or not. Or he has learned that the sparrows flush out of the pens when I am around.

Those are some of the sharpest and nicest photos I've seen Bone. Good job getting the focus on the eye.
