A couple hours after I got the first batch of photos of this little hawk (actually about 2-1/2 feet long), she returned to the same branch again for another photo shoot.  The shooting angle and lighting were a lot better, thus revealing a lot of details unseen from before.  In any case, it’s an honor she let me get this close to her again.

Can you guess what species she is?

I shot these photos with:

• Sony DSC-RX100 20.2 MP Exmor CMOS Sensor Digital Camera with 3.6x Zoom
• Nikon D7000 16.2MP DX-Format CMOS Digital SLR with 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR ED Nikkor Lens
