I was out working in the yard a little while ago and heard the birds raising a ruckus again ... figured there was a predator nearby and sure enough, this Hawk was perched on a low branch with his fresh caught lunch in his talons. I came in and grabbed my camera to try to get a couple of pictures and this is the best of the few I was able to get. There are 7 different hawks listed in my bird book, but trying to compare photo's, I can't for the life of me decide which one this is. I only got pic's from the front so have no clue what coloration's were on the back of the wings. Hope someone can tell me which particular hawk this is.

Thanks,
Lin
