Hawk eye

Yesterday afternoon as I was using the laptop in the living room, something moved outside in the trees that caught my eyes. One of the hawks that usually just soars overhead took up residence in a tree outside for about an hour. I suspect he was hoping he'd have a shot at some of the birds at our feeders below the window. No luck. Yesterday, and almost every day, the birds had cleaned out the feeders by mid-afternoon, and that's after the second filling.

Sandy checked to be sure. It was a red-tailed hawk. There is a tell-tale speckled band of brown across the white breast that is visible in the picture.
