Broad-winged Hawk

Canaan Valley, West Virginia

We're enjoying a pair of Broad-winged Hawks nesting close by. Glanced out our west facing front windows just in time to spot one of them fly in and land on a limb in our front yard.
Grabbed my camera and took several shots through our double-pane windows.
And yes, I needed to put my camera into DayLightSavings time. See 'previous' for another shot of this hawk.

Nikon Z 6II ,Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S with TC 2X
