Field Notes

Description:

Medium sized raptor with mottled brown back and speckled chest.

Habitat:

Urban yard, perched on a privacy fence.

Notes:

I came home to this perched on my privacy fence. While I approached with my camera, three squirrels were playing right underneath him. Not sure why he was perching there if he wasn't interested in squirrels, but I like the pictures I was able to get.
