I have only caught quick sightings of hawks around my backyard, but this one stayed long enough today for a photo...

nice shot...last time I saw a hawk close enough to get a good picture, I was playing golf and did not have a camera. (I should learn from that!)

WOW, super shot....really sharp and great details all over and the unusual perspective of seeing it on a privacy fence

I like it Bryan, the colour and DoF, the slightly ruffled feathers, the claws and the foot digging into the weathered fence , it's an excellent picture, congratulations
