Isn't he regal looking? I was amazed that he flew into the back hall in the first place; I can't imagine what he was chasing...
I knew from the beak and the talons he was a raptor, but I had no idea what he could be (he was smaller than our banty rooster). It took some searching on the internet, but the views I got of his markings helped - here he is "resting" after another round of crashing into the windows -
He is a Sparrow hawk. How lucky I am to live here and be able to experience this kind of thing during my "work day"...

Thanks for sharing!
Look at the stripes on his tale. Isn't that amazing? Birds are so beautiful.
Cool!
Sparrow Hawks are beautiful animals. We have a variety of birds of prey here. Our recent visit was from a snowy white barn owl. He was so quiet. I'm very lucky all our critters are under cover!
I love kestrels; they ARE beautiful! Perhaps he was chasing a mousie that ran into your housie?

That is so cool.
