Thanks. I actually shot this from the tractor. I first saw the hawk sitting while I drove by. So I went back to the house and got the camera. When I drove by again, he was still there, looking for sparrows.

Tractor looks like it makes a good blind. Lovely shot with nice detail.

Thanks all, this hawk has been around since fall, but this was first time to "capture" him!
