Busted!!!!

Wow - November is flying by as we go into Thanksgiving week! I am very thankful for my family that put up with me, that is my spouse and daughter. I am thankful for my family that I was born into and still have around albeit many different places around the United States. Plus I wish a very wonder Thanksgiving to all who may read this and a fantastic Holiday season!

So Busted?! - Well, as you may know I have a few various bird feeders in my backyard which attract a small assortment of small birds, such as Golden finches, Less golden finches, black capped chickadees some brown eyed juncos and a few others and some blue jays, Norther Flickers, etc.

But some of the most intriguing are the Cooper's Hawk and Sharp-Shinned Hawks that stop by now and then and try to drum a meal through their various ambush methods. In this shot I got a Cooper's Hawk that had just finished up a meal of one of the smaller birds and may have been looking at me, looking at him through the glass door through my lens. I had actually seen it while upstairs and made a quick dash to get my camera along with a longer lens on it as I only had a 28-75 and had to get my 70-200 at least. Well, he was eating so I had the time to get from upstairs and move to the main floor so I could get some shots and he stayed for a few.

He later came back and perched on another fence but not a single 'peep' could be heard from the small birds!

Thanks for stopping in and enjoy!
