Our feeder area is very close to our house and a large window offers me very close views sometimes.<BR/><BR/>ruthiej:<BR/>I do think feathers grow back in for when once posting a photo of a Blue Jay without tail feathers that seemed to be the general consensus of most.<BR/><BR/>mary:<BR/>Up until about ten years ago I knew very little about birds but now by having my camera as a constant compainion and several guide books on birds on hand I have discovered many fascinating details about birds and their identifying features.<BR/><BR/>sandpiper:<BR/>The detail was definitely enchanced by my closeness.<BR/><BR/>nw naturenut:<BR/>They are very quick sometimes. A hawk visited again yesterday but before I could get its picture it was gone.<BR/><BR/>april:<BR/>The loss of its flight feathers was a reminder to me that sometimes maybe the roles are reversed and perhaps it becomes the hunted rather than being the hunter. I do wonder what might have happened.<BR/><BR/>daniel:<BR/>Hawks have great appeal to me and I totally enjoy these photo oppotunities when they present themselves. Glad that you enjoy.me ann my camerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06083671096943783249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29934747.post-30026374896828570012008-04-02T00:05:00.000-03:002008-04-02T00:05:00.000-03:00Fantastic photos of the hawk.

I always have a hard time getting good photos of them because they don't visit the yard that often, and when they do they are in and out very quickly. I rarely see them perch for long.
