Thanks Danielle. They're c...Thank you Bonnie.<br /><br />Thanks Danielle. They're certainly beautiful birds!<br /><br />Thanks Gaelyn. I was in the basement and it was dark and I was wearing dark clothes, so the hawk couldn't see me at all--I think that's why it came so close to the house. This was probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me.<br /><br />Thanks Meggie. Now you'll know what this bird is when you see one flying into your backyard!<br /><br />Hi Mollie, <br />Trail cameras like this are mainly used by hunters for monitoring deer and wildlife activity. This particular camera is motion and/or heat activated. Some use infrared technology so they don't flash at nite, but this one flashes (infrared are more expensive). I think there are some that can transmit directly to your PC or TV, but this one doesn't -- it stores all the photos on a compact flash card. You can find out more information at www.cuddeback.com<br /><br />You're welcome Dave. Glad you enjoyed it.<br /><br />That's so cool Laura, it was definitely a first for me.<br /><br />Thanks Dawn.<br /><br />Thanks Abraham. I was amazed at how long I was able to continue photographing too.<br /><br />Thanks Mary. When I worked at WBU, there were always some people who didn't like having hawks in their backyard, but I think it's such a privilege to be able to see them up close!RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-6524668068184488772010-10-02T20:40:16.642-05:002010-10-02T20:40:16.642-05:00Wow, Ruthie!

Heidi and I have gotten excited when a hawk (we think it was a Coopers) landed on the telephone pole and wires behind our little postage stamp backyard and it was perched for quite a while, too. BTW, I loved your video; who would have thought that a raptor would "wander" around like that.Mary Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077077785157768787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-11445928850678298382010-10-02T06:46:29.260-05:002010-10-02T06:46:29.260-05:00She really gave you a lot of good poses to photogr...She really gave you a lot of good poses to photograph.Abraham Lincolnhttp://mybirdsblog.blogspot,com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-57847764580247951042010-09-28T10:55:53.004-05:002010-09-28T10:55:53.004-05:00How exciting!

I thought for sure he'd fly when I got in front of the patio door with the camera but maybe there was enough reflection off the glass that he didn't see me.<br /><br />Thanks Stephen, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I know lots of people who feed birds don't like to have hawks show up in their yard, but for me, it's really a special privilege anytime a raptor visits the backyard--especially when I'm there to witness it.<br /><br />Thanks Dan. I've never seen one run like that either, so it was very cool!<br /><br />Thanks Jayne. Hoping you get some cooler weather soon!<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed it Martie. I think he's gorgeous too!<br /><br />Thanks Ray.
