    This young sharp-shinned hawk spent time in my yard this week. How do I know it was young? Many blue jays and other species in the yard, but it left without a meal...plus, the blue jays chased it as much as it chased them!!

    Great shot Jane. The detail and the focus on the eye against the bokeh is amazing
