Cedar Creek Battlefield, Virginia.
This could be a red-tailed hawk but I didn't see much more than a silhouette. I was glad to get a picture because usually I see hawks while I'm driving on the highway so I cannot get a photo. This one was in a tree next to the upper parking lot for the Morning Attack Trails and Vermont Monument.
Hawks like to sit in trees next to roads because they watch for small animals that come to the roadside to feed on items that humans throw out of cars.

Your area has so many interesting landscapes and wildlife sightings.
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteI thought I was commenting on these pix but I did so on the previous post thinking that the hawk and daff pix were in the same post. *smack forehead* Oh well...nice capture.
Que maravilha este falcão em pleno voo, aproveito para desejar a continuação de uma boa semana.

ReplyDeleteWhat fun, to think how we've become part of the food chain for the hawks. Though I'm not really happy that we make enough garbage/litter that our presence has affected wildlife this way.
ReplyDeletea beautiful "in flight" image!!! and so exciting...i love seeing them as long as they are not at my feeders!!
ReplyDeleteI often see hawks along the road when driving too. Well done!
