Bird Of Prey Behind My Home

[dvslats]

....the feathered version.

I was able to get a snapshot of a hawk that settled behind my house yesterday morning. What alerted me to its presence were the sparrows in the trees going nuts.
Chirping, flapping, and generally making a huge ruckus.
When I realized why, I found my camera and very quietly opened the basement door and got a shot of it from there. Max zoom.

The color of its eyes really stood out against the bright light.
Not CFS2 related but just thought I'd share it. Personally I've never seen this bird up close. They're always hanging out at the top branches of the old elm trees.
Way far away...

I live in a planned city with the world's biggest tree concentration by square meter. We also can see a lot of owls at the nights!

We have a pair of Wedge-tail Eagles, that occasionally can be seen soaring over our property. Lovely to watch. Makes a delightful change from all the damn parrots!
