A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine and classical composition gives us an enjoyable view of that handsome bird and its location. Like its patterned breast. Nicely done!

A great shot of this sparrow hawk; beautiful detail and colors shown here. Colors and details are shown well. His eye is well captured; and the background is blurred enough to show his details

Great shot here Susan of this Sparrow Hawk in your garden. You have captured him with a lot of detail especially the eye. Great colours and exposure. Great focus, texture and clarity. Well done and thanks for sharing :-)

Oh my goodness Susan , this is a new visitor to your yard and we see immediately that he is a predator by looking at his hooked bill.
He is beautiful and well captured as he sits waiting to make his next move,
Well focused, clear image with good use of the light ,
Colors and tones appear natural.
Well composed and presented!

Pat,
Thanks a million for your complementary review on the male Sparrow Hawk watching from the Mulberry tree. The first time I saw a male Sparrow Hawk it picked up an injured House Sparrow on the door step of the Patio door four feet away. I also saw one capture a small bird on the wing in Glendoher Park while walking Juno~Dog.
