Vent Voyeur

Late this morning when I opened up the overhead vent in the bathroom, there staring at me from an overhanging tree branch was this Copper’s Hawk. I don’t know who was the most surprised, he or I. He stood his ground while I got my camera and snapped a couple of photos. Although he is a juvenile in his first year of coloring, he has made a wise choice to hunt for birds here in the park with our abundance of little sparrows, and finches.
