Georgia Hawk
This was taken at my work. He let me get about 4 ft from him. I am sure I could have gotten closer but his sharp claws and beak scared me LOL. Yes sitting on our mailbox :)
He is a Goshawk. Possibly still a juvenile but I am unsure.

is he on a mailbox? nice capture, I know what you mean, the hawk shots I got this past summer, they were on my doorstep, literally inches from my fingers, but I was too chicken to get closer, I guess 10 in is close enough eh? Nice shot….
