This beautiful juvenile Sharp-shinned hawk flew inside our screened patio recently.
Look at the beautiful pattern in the feathers.
After flying around the patio for twenty minutes, my husband put a towel on the hawk and was able to release it back into the wild. Thank goodness!

He's magnificent! Did he stay long? gail
I believe our cats would have had heart attacks! Beautiful shot of the hawk taking a break from flight.
Wow, what an awesome sight. It looks like the Cooper's Hawk that we had fly into our patio window! Sadly, it did not live!

Hawks are interesting birds for sure!
I believe it was a juvenile Sharp-shinned Hawk. My husband had to pick it up with a towel because the poor thing kept flying into the screen panels. He was stuck on the patio for around 20 minutes and then flew happily away once released.
Thank God! I was so afraid it would get hurt continually flying into the screen.
Hawk? Wow!
Amazing! Glad you were able to catch him safely.
Love all the garden photos too!
Wow that sounds like it was exciting. I am glad you were able to release him safely to the wild.
I am glad the hawk was released back into the wild; I admire hawks and owls and their noble beauty.
What a beauty! I've been seeing a hawk spending time in the field behind my house over that last few weeks. Just amazing.
