The Red Tailed Hawk is common on the east coast. I'd like to think it's a Chicken Hawk and that's a piece of Foghorn Leghorn in his little talons...

I don't have any pics but outside my window "Icetrina" is still hanging on 8 days after. Over 11,000 homes without power last week now down to 400. Obama could have at least flown over in Air Force One.

We had 2 1/2" of ice topped with 3 inches of snow. Northern Arkansas and Kentucky have had it much worse than us. Temps supposed to be up to the 50s tomorrow.

Thanks - Shelties do love the snow.
I can deal with cold as long as we have sunshine and no wind like today.
Jan. was way too gray around here without the usual "January thaw" where you get a handful of days with high 40s/low 50s in a row.

It sort of looks like a chubby kestrel.
How big was the bird?

Maybe 10 – 13 inches tall when perched like that.

c-c-c-cold on the outside
warm and fluffy on the inside.

Forumites, for your enjoyment,
and to warm your hearts,
I'd like to introduce our fuzzy

jmq,
Is that a Sharp-shinned hawk or a Cooper's hawk.

We get those out here and they go nuts on the small birds from bird feeders.

Do you have bird feeders in your yard?

No we dont have a feeder this year, but that was definitely another bird it was eating.

Good call Terry. Leaning maybe Coopers hawk going by the shape of the head when compared here:

I took this from my window at work last week.

Wow - Jo Ann! What a great view!
