This hawk was disturbed from her nest, both by me stopping the car in the driveway, and David on the lawn mower. I can't quite decide if she is a Sharp-Shinned or Cooper's - I looked up the info, and will have to pay more attention next time I see her - then I'll know what identifying marks to look for! She sat in the top of the tree and scolded me, then
swooped down right at me! So quickly, in fact, that I barely got her in the photo! She's nesting very close, but I couldn't spot the nest today. This may call for some further investigation.
