This is displayed in the National Forest Service office. I believe it is a red tailed hawk. I have previously posted photos of live ones, but this example looks faded, or perhaps that’s from the fluorescent lighting.
When I searched my image folder for Hawks, the only one that came up that I have not previously shown was one pictured on a sign in Shenandoah National Park. (Bottom row.)
Red-tails remind of the song from “Oklahoma” about hawks making lazy circles in the sky.
ReplyDeleteMakes me wonder what this bird's backstory might have been.
ReplyDeleteSad to see a bird like this really. They always look dull in my eyes. But in the flesh (feather!) - what a sight!

And this is hawk migration season, too. We saw a red tailed hawk during a recent trip to Vermont - with that beautiful red tail flashing. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
