Red Shouldered Hawk

Red Shouldered Hawk, I finally photographed a hawk. Well, I photographed one flying quite a while ago. Not sure what kind it was. But these two sat so nice for me as I was walking along the road underneath them.

At first I went out without my camera for my morning walk. Which I had told myself many times to not do that. So these two landed in a tree in front of me first when I did not have a camera. I continued my walk and they landed in another tree above me.

So I stopped and said, “Fine, I am going to go get my camera and you two better still be here when I get back. ” As I was saying it to them.

Usually they don’t do what I ask them to do, but this time they were still there. It is early morning so they have a warm glow to them from the sun just coming up and then to get a pair of them is quite a treat for me to add to my bird count.

Have a great weekend.

  1. Beautiful photos! Here in Nevada we have a variety of hawks and bald eagles flying around and I’m never able to catch such a great shot! Love your blog!

  2. They decided it was their day to shine so they took your words to heart! Yes, the day you don’t carry the camera, you see something fabulous. I have come home three times from Council Point Park to get the camera because I didn’t take it that morning.

  3. Cool! At first I thought they were doves, due to their body shape.

    Being in a dense city, I usually only see hawks sitting on freeway light poles watching for rodents in the groundcover.

  4. Great shots Sandra, Hawks are hard to get. Love the morning glow. I think the best pictures come when one is an opportunist (and running to get camera).
