This guy flew onto the patio wall the other day... looking for snacks I guess. Little birds that is.... they hang out in the lilac and on the wall too.... begging for treats. 'Somebody' must have noticed.
And, besides ..there is a new little fountain in the patio with burbling water...maybe that enticed him.
All I know is..I saw him swoop in....mostly just a shadow, and jumped up, grabbed my camera and managed to get a few shots through the window before he flew away. He took a quick peek into the lilacs..but I'm sure the little guys had fled by then... thank goodness. Didn't need to witness any of that nonsense...
He/she... looks pretty fierce.... hide little birdies !!
Linking up to Stewart's Wild Bird Wednesday (on Wednesday) ...

Great photos!
Always good to keep the camera near to grab a quick shot before the opportunity is gone
Hope you are having a wonderful week!
He is just beautiful! Hope the songbirds stayed well hidden. Nice shots!
I sometimes see a hawk when I open the curtains in the morning. There's a spruce tree just outside our window and he often lurks in there waiting for an unsuspecting small bird to come along. Fortunately I've never seen him 'do the nasty'.
Looks good for a S'hawk to me! Great pictures.

You did well to get a picture of him. I hope the little birdies are safe
Gosh! Look at those sharp talons! They show up so well in the picture. I would hate to have them grab me.
