010523 Sharp-shinned Hawk
This was a once in a lifetime photo, which took me completely by surprise. Writer had just opened the front door to hear House Sparrows being worried. As I looked atop the bush where they were hidden , and this was what I saw before i grabbed my camera. The door was left open, and I backed away to grab my handheld camera, but the battery was dead. I grabbed the tripod with the 500mm lens and returned to the door, hoping that this lens would not be be my demise for this shot.
Lady Luck winked and gave me a grin. The sharpie dove into the bush, coming out empty handed, as it could not really get inside the tangles. This is when I was able to get my shots. A sparrow exited the bush, the hawk went into pursuit, but came up empty, and both birds disappeared.

As can be seen, this shot was in the summer, but it was not possible to get anything else worthy. Enjoy the state bird of Oklahoma, the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher.
