There was a hunter in my backyard today, but it was not me! Was watching some birds in the backyard today and all of a sudden they scatter. My wife said there was a hawk on the limb. After taking some pictures through the window, I went out and took some more and moved closer and closer and he just stayed out until I got within about 15 feet of him and he took off. My son checked the web and it looks like a Broadwing Hawk.

Beautiful bird! Awesome shot!!! Thats so cool.

 

On a side note, do you hunt John?

No, I do not hunt. I fish and shoot, but I have never hunted. Being a city boy from East Orange, I just never had any exposure to hunting. Plenty of guns though

That is an awsome shot. I like birds, there is something tranquil and peaceful about watching them. I was bowhunting a few years back and out of the corner of my eye saw an owl land on a branch 15ft away from me.He was there for a few minutes until I moved and he realized I was there. Then he swooped down and away. He never made a sound.
