Not a particularly exciting image of the Sharp-shinned Hawk, but I’m posting it because, as my wife pointed out to me, it’s not the same bird as either of the pair that showed up a week earlier. Neither of those had the white markings on the back. This is the same as the bird in my last post, but I find it interesting that we’ve had three different (at least) juvenile Sharpies over the last 10 days or so.
Anything. I didn’t do much to this image other than noise reduction, cropping and feather detail enhancement.
What artistic feedback would you like if any?
Anything

A wonderful shot, Dennis. I love his pose. I always enjoy getting to see the back of the birds sometimes, with their head turned some so you can see the face. That old post makes for a nice perch. I’m glad your wife talked you into posting this one.
