I was walking around at Aransas Wildlife Refuge a while back and I think I passed this young Gator twice before I noticed him. He/she was about 3' long maybe a bit less. The Sharp Shinned Hawk with the dove I took in my yard.

Nice pics. We have a hawk in my neighborhood. A couple weeks ago my wife called me at work asking why there were feathers and blood on the front walk way. It was a kill from the hawk. Looked like dove feathers.

thanks for the comments and glad everyone enjoyed them. I actually watched this hawk chasing the dove across my back yard, zipping through the trees. As they sped over a fence line and behind a tree, I saw feathers come floating down. Found he hawk and dove about 40' the other side of the fence.

Nice shots.

The world ends when you are dead, until then you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man- and give some back.
