Twice in the last week we've seen one of these hawks -- perhaps the same one -- perching on the basketball goal in our driveway. Shortly after this picture was taken, the hawk silently flew off to catch a small bird on our roof!

In reading about these hawks, I learned that the females are bigger than the males and that here in Florida they're the most commonly seen and heard raptor species ... if you don't count vultures.
