Hawk

So for the past few days we have had this little treasure visiting us...

 Isn't she a beauty!  She has been plying us with her song.  We have seen her on various perches within eye shot of the backdoor and have heard her calling from her hiding space within the trees. 

I got a new camera Friday - an Olympus SP800UZ and it has a 30x zoom and I am so grateful that it does because it allowed me this wonderful shot!  She was on our back fence which is about 85 foot away at this point.  I have been playing with the different settings on my camera and am a bit scared of some of the "magic" it has - like the pinhole, fisheye, popart and drawing settings.
