Hi, Sharp-skinned Hawk! Nice to meet you as well.

Now I know what type of hawk has shown up in my backyard off and on. Thanks for the great picture.

Could be a Cooper’s hawk in your backyard! They look similar and are notorious for snacking on backyard bird feeder visitors.

Beautiful bird, great photo! I’m voting down anything that’s asking for more funding until I see all the money we’ve been putting in year after year have better results. The extra $3k on my tax because I have a house in Seattle last year tapped me out. 54% increase in one year, I’m done.
