Another great shot Jane. I think he is all fluffed up as well to keep the wet and cold from his body. Hopefully he gets a meal of sorts soon. Nicely captured.

What a great shot and storyline that almost reflects a forlorn look about it. Nicely captured Jane

Description
I almost feel sorry for it....this sharp-shinned hawk has not once gotten a meal when it's been in my yard. It stayed most of the morning as wet snow was falling.
