Add this one to the life list! What a beautiful hawk. Got my field guide out-I think this is a sharp-shinned juvenile. migrating? Gorgeous shot! What camera are you using, Dr.Mani?

I don't think the squirrel cares that much...

What an amazing picture! That is one beautiful bird.

Doc you have "captured a good catch' or even 'catched o god capture'. They say "a Surgeon shoul have the eye of an hawk, fingers of a women & a heart of a lion" - well! the eye & the fingers are - visible here.

Now THAT is a cool picture. Gotta love it when nature shows up in your backyard.

Makes me think of the Red-tailed Hawks we have in our woods. May be the Asian equivalent http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/35/overview/Broad-winged_Hawk.aspx
