Well there was quite a bit of commotion outside my window a few minutes ago. A slight bang on the window, the sounds of wings flapping and such. I went to the window and looked out to the ground below the birdfeeder thinking I would see a bird that had been stunned by his misguided flight into our window. Instead, there was nothing...until I looked up at the fence...and this is what I saw.
Wow isn't he spectacular. I think it's a peregrine falcon or maybe a hawk but I'm not actually sure.
Maybe someone knows?
Anyways, quite a treat to see so close up and he was quite accommodating to stay while I ran for my camera and snapped these pictures.
