Sharp-Shinned Hawk

[Debi Sallee]

I am amazed at how close this guy will let me get to him without him flying away. Although my feeders do not need filled as often, as they do when this guy is not around, I can't help but to keep taking pictures of him. He just sits there while I talk to him and take pictures. The raccoons that were here, late this Autumn did the exact thing, just look and listen to me.

I take it as a very high complement from some of God's gifts.

I am amazed also, at how close the hawks let me get. I don't have telephoto or anything so if you go to my site and check out the photo of my hawk you'll see, I really was that close. They are so interesting. I don't have friends that are interested in birds so this site is really a treat for me. Thanks for sharing all you wonderful pictures of wildllife!
