Today's picture of the day was taken by my very good friend Linda. She happened to look out of her rear window today and was surprised to see a hawk consuming what looked like a pigeon in her snowy back yard. That surely does not happen every day.
I first thought this was a peregrine falcon, but was quickly corrected by some readers who identified it as a hawk.
Thanks Linda for sharing.
i saw that bird last week on a clothes line pole in my backyard (Sackett bet Court & Clinton)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a Cooper's hawk -- or maybe a sharp-shinned hawk? The two are similar, but I'd say Cooper's.
ReplyDeleteI saw this bird also. Wednesday. Sitting in the sun in a tree behind buildings on Union street
ReplyDeleteHawk, not a falcon.
ReplyDeleteOK. Hawk it is. Thanks for everyone's input. Will correct the post accordingly.
