Back at home, we aren’t strangers to wildlife.
My boys enjoy watching the bird feeders (and let’s be fair, so do I!) We get the usual suspects: cardinals, warblers, sparrows, goldfinches, red bellied woodpeckers, downy woodpeckers, juncos…you get the idea.
So when I looked up one morning and this guy was hanging out, I was quick (but actually moving very slowly, lol) to try to grab some pictures. I even managed to call for youngest to creep upstairs and get a look.
He hasn’t been back to the suet, but I have seen him soaring on the air currents over the neighborhood.

Oh wow is that an eagle or a falcon? How amazing. We get the sparrows, blackbirds, Kookaburras, magpies and currently squawking gallahs and white cockatoos
I enjoy watching birds, too. I’d love to see an owl and we hear them close to our house (once we heard the hooting coming through our fireplace and knew the owl was sitting on our chimney!) but so far they’ve stayed out of sight. Is that a hawk in your picture? He looks like a cool guy!
It’s either a red shouldered or red tailed hawk. The drawings in our bird book weren’t detailed enough for us to decide.
I would love to see an owl too! We hear them in the woods behind our house. But they’re shy
Yes! A hawk :)
What an amazing picture.
I was so happy to see it!
That’s amazing!
It was!
Great picture of the hawk!! I’ve seen a few around before, but never at my bird feeder!! I used to always get more squirrels than anything. After Mom passed I decided to get rid of the feeder. One less thing for me to worry about, lol!!! I’m allergic to wasps, and they liked to build a nest under the feeder.
Oh man. I would not be ok with wasps! We do get squirrels, but honestly I don’t mind them
That hawk on your bird feeder is so cool!!
Thank you!
Wow, that’s awesome! We have a hawk I spotted a few times, but I never quick enough to get the phone / camera!
I was so amazed I could take this picture! Such a stunning creature.
cool bird pic
Thanks!
My street had a similar visit from one of his cousins, and everyone was either pointing it out to their kids or taking some pics. :)
Fun!
Great picture!
Fabulous picture. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you.
I’m an avid bird watcher too thanks to my grandma! She used to have multiple feeders in her back yard along with a couple of homemade squirrel feeders that held whole dried corn cobs. You’d stick the corn cob on a spike that holds it to a wooden platform and watch the squirrels eat off it, my grandpa made them :-) So cool to see them!
That’s a wonderful picture of what looks like a red-tailed hawk. We have many of those here in Oregon where I live. It’s a beautiful sight when you see them soar in the air or sitting on a pole! We also see many bald eagles, turkey vultures, seagulls of course and I’ve spotted a few owls that blend in with the birch trees. Aren’t Gods creatures amazing?
Happy Sunday IR!
I love feeding and watching the birds. Thank you for sharing.
I love country living due to the birds!!
