Thank you very much for showing "him". I love all birds and always enjoy looking at pictures others have been able to take of them.

That hawk is waiting for the little birds so they can be his lunch. When the sm. birds can tell there's a hawk around, they will hide in the bushes. Then the hawk swoops in so the little ones all fly out then he picks one right out of the air. I hate when that happens but I guess it's all "nature".

Very cool! I have seen hawks flying around our house, but we don't have a feeder. We do get herons and egrets hanging out at the pond in the golf course behind our house. I did manage to get a photo of a great blue walking on our neighbor's roof.

I think you need a bigger feeder.

Looks like an osprey that visits my cousin's backyard in Florida. They're a little larger than a hawk.

That is a hawk waiting for a bird for his dinner. We had a hawk grab a bird off of our feeder. The hawk then went down to the deck railing and adjusted the tiny bird in him talons and took off. Unless you want the hawk feeding on the birds on your feeder I would shoo him away

Hawks eat much more than small birds. You can thank them for helping to keep the small rodent population down. Great photo!
Thanks for sharing.

It looks like a hawk waiting for a smaller bird to eat.
