I Spy

Early Riser

It's Lonely At The Top

I finally got close enough to one of our Red Shouldered Hawk neighbors to capture a decent image of this great looking creature.  It took me nearly two weeks to get this image, but it was definitely worth the effort.

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.
