OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY. . .GONE SOUTH!

Several weeks ago I heard 'tapping' on the window.
When I raised the shade this little bird was looking in at me. . .
Although I'm pretty sure it was just admiring its own reflection in the glass!
I ran for the camera thinking it would be gone by the
time I got back. . .
But it just sat on the windowsill and let me snap pictures, like it
was enjoying our 'photo session'!
It came back several times afterwards, before the
SNOW STORM we had yesterday!
This same view out the window is white today!
I really don't know if 'it' was a 'he' or a 'she' bird.
By now my little friend has gone south, at least I hope so anyway!
(I think it's a Sparrow Hawk, if anyone knows I would love to know for sure).

  8. Great photographs of the bird, it certainly seemed to enjoy posing for you!!

    Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I used Picnik for the textures in my pics, I do pay for the premium one but well worth it. I do my slideshows with them as well if I don't use Picasa.

    Have a great week, it is quite cold and frosty here this morning, although the weather over the weekend wasn't too bad for the time of year.
