Oh hey, me first! What a beautiful bird! it looks like a falcon though I'm not entirely sure... These birds own the sky when they fly, and it's a real treat to see one up close like this. Thanks for posting, Momma.

I'll bet there are more beautiful shots hidden on your hard-drive, please look for more. I always look forward to what you come up with next. Soon we will be able to call you The Bird-woman Of ... ?? They seem to pose for you, but you still can't get this great result, just by them posing. Such a nice shot!!

He's most definitely a lovely bird with such great colors in his feathers. Glad you found him, Pat. He looks pretty content in his sanctuary.

Hmmm he must be either a Falcon or a Hawk eh? Either way he appears to be just a baby one. Just a beautiful photo Pat. He looks a little shy or maybe scared. But I just think its wonderful that you were able to take his picture and still have it around to share with us. Thanx. Verena

A gorgeous bird ... the pose does give the impression it's in deep thought. Wonderful detail on the feathers. The yellow around the eye & on the beak is a standout. Beautifully captured Pat.

Nice shot Owd Momma. Looks like he is posing. I notice the focus is really sharp on the eye, but doesn't seem to maintain that sharpness on the entire bird. Blurred background looks good.

A good closeup of the well posed falcon Pat. I like the colours and detail in this beautiful bird image. I hope he didn't chew up anything inside your computer while he was residing in your hard drive. Faved
