red-tailed hawk

Some of my friends may have seen the photos I've taken of my neighborhood red-tailed hawks. I've seen them for years in this neighborhood, and their nest is near my office building. I love to watch them sunning on the window ledges of the office, and frequently get to see them flying around during the day as well. Their wingspan is amazing, and to see the white and brown of their under-feathers as they fly overhead is fantastic.

Lately I have been lucky enough to see them hunting at midday, from some tall old trees very near my house. That these beautiful birds have been close enough to be photographed, just fills me with wonder.



And I hope they continue to visit often...
