My reflection in a Sharp-Shinned Hawk's eye...does this count as a "Selfie"?

Searching for a sparrow breakfast on a sub-zero morning.

No, I don't think that counts for a selfie! But he was watching you wasn't he?! Good shots. Is this one of your pets?

Actually, a photo of me that is this fuzzy is perfect! It flew into my picture window while pursuing a quail and was obviously stunned. I grabbed my camera and ran outside for some shots. It flew away about 20 minutes later...with a concussion, I suspect.

Yeh! He does look a bit stunned. I hate that when that happens, but you took advantage of his misfortune to get a great picture of him and thank goodness he flew away without any harm done.

A handsome bird! Glad to hear it was able to fly after recovering.

Thanks Phil. Didn't know I'd use the close up...wish I'd taken more even closer.

Thanks...and with the bitter cold weather to accommodate, he was really "fluffy".

That is amazing detail,redrock. So glad he was able to fly off ok. As for the "selfie"...are you always this distorted? gives new thought to "hawk eye".
