Master of His Domain

Master of His Domain

I finally got an opportunity to get a snapshot of one of the red shouldered hawks that calls our neighborhood home.  They have had a nest, about 75 yards from the house, for nearly three years.  It is difficult to get to and almost impossible to photograph.  Ocassionally, one will perch in the top of a dead tree, about the same distance from our abode.  This is about as close as I can get without actually setting up in advance and waiting for him/her to come to the branch.  I love these creatures.  I truly find them fascinating.  Now, If I can just get him/her to perch on a branch with an unobstructed view, I'll be very happy.

  1. I think you took a great shot of him/her. Birds of all kinds are really difficult to photograph.

    Have a terrific day. :)
