Description

This was taken through my kitchen window which is no farther than 10 ft. away from the feeder. Dozens of sparrows had been enjoying their lunch, creating quite a rucus in the process. Suddenly everything went silent. I looked up from the sink where I had been doing some dishes to find this big guy sitting in the tree. I live in a very urban neighborhood of Cleveland, OH, it was quite a treat to see this Unusual Suspect. I have to apologize for the lack of clarity in the photo, the picture was taken through both a window and a window screen.
