My little hawk!

Post by Annie »

Ok so I know it's a crappy pic, but I was trying out my new telephoto lens my stepson got me for Christmas!
And it didn't help because of the stupid fog we had yesterday :lol:
Well that and I'm not really sure what I'm doing :)
I think it's a kestral...

This one is the with the zoom all the way out...

I build a nest box for one of those....didn't expect one, but it gave me and my son something to build. Gave a couple away too...where they had a better chance. We go squirrels and they love it. Oh well....

Love the kestrel though.........
