    Devouring a field vole. This immature hawk was skillful and efficient, consuming its prey and discarding the viscera in one minute.

    Red Tailed Hawk

    On a walk down a very isolated gravel road that cut deep into some woods yesterday, I heard the unmistakable call of the Red Tailed Hawk. I spotted it high up in a fairly distant tree. It seemed very upset with my presence, could there be a nest with young nearby? As it was very agitated, I...

    Red-tailed hawk up to no good!

    I'm going to have to do a lot more road cruising to find birds now, as I'm temporarily closed due to hawks. After finding the remains of three mourning doves in the yard inside of a week, no, the feeders have to come down for a bit. As I was outside taking them down, he chose to pick on the...

    I had a unique opportunity to shoot in a pristine salt-marsh here in Connecticut - a one-day deal, good luck. But it worked out well, as I saw dozens of hawks (and others, which I'll be posting). This guy landed literally over my head, which gave me a great angle, but I was getting showered with...

    Been very busy with some major home improvements, so haven't had much time to visit bird forum or even pick up the camera much this summer so far. Saw two different types of hawk having a bit of a tiff. The near one in this shot is almost certainly a Red Tailed Hawk, I heard it's distinctive...

    Red Tailed Hawk?

    I guess yesterday was Raptor Day. Not only did I see three spectacular bald eagles, I also spotted this high flying Red Tailed Hawk.( I think that's what it is.) He circled lazily high over head for a bit, then drew his wings in slightly, and rode the wind away to the west at a remarkable speed...

    I was primarily trying for a vulture photo because they had been buzzing around my place quite a bit that day but instead, this red-tailed beauty appeared from behind a pine treetop and flew directly overhead. Made my day.
