Two days ago I was in the living room and heard a sound outside. I looked out and saw a huge hawk sitting on the deck railing. "Red tailed hawk!" I gasped, although I am not an expert on hawks. I tried to pick up my camera rather cautiously, but apparently he saw me move and took off with a mighty flapping of his wings.
Disappointed that I had missed a chance for a hawk portrait, I had to be contented with getting a few pictures of ordinary birds. This one is a Carolina wren.

...whenever I see a hawk and get my camera ready the hawk flies away.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture of the Hawk, I love the cute wren.
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your day!
A while ago we had a rat in our backyard, no doubt attracted by seed spilled from the bird feeders, and we were hoping that a Red-tailed Hawk would come by, but no such luck!
ReplyDeleteQuite a formidable hawk!
ReplyDeleteGlad your hawk came back and that you were able to get a photo! They never make it easy to take their picture. Love the cute little wren photo as well.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful capture of the hawk.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, he must have wanted a sandwich too!
