Hübscher Vogel! Lässt sich wohl gern Sonnenaufgang auf den "Pelz" scheinen :)

mooi, wel wat okerig, soort vogel?

't is een havik.
Volle naam in Engels is: sharp-shinned hawk
(thanks Jessica and Len)

Very nice picture, but I think it's a Cooper's Hawk (tail feathers).

Hard to tell with the light, but an adult judging by eye colour.

Beautiful.

Thanks mramshaw and richy.

@mramshaw: thanks for your observations

@quantumleaper: if I could sit on a tree branch like that and watch the sun come up, I would too
