VISITOR ON A FOGGY SEPTEMBER MORNING






































Didn't have time to set up my tripod. Cooper's Hawk? Pigeon Hawk? The breast coloring was that of a Cooper's Hawk, but the shape was more that of a Pigeon Hawk/Merlin. As it preened, its distinctively patterned black and white tail feathers were displayed, more like the tail of a Pigeon Hawk/Merlin. Before I got out my binoculars, my first thought was Peregrine Falcon.
