Nature Done Wright

Had a nice First Saturday of October walk with Fyke. Gray skies, damp weather and a threat of rain could not keep us from our appointed rounds.

The walk began a little when this Shooper's Hawk landed on a nearby roof. I thought it was a Sharpie but now I am leaning toward a Coop.

Anyone have any thoughts?

And, no, no luck with seeing or hearing a Red-breasted Nuthatch.
