A few days back, we planned to stop and add bird feed to the feeder at Big Woods. As we approached, I could see this hawk in the tree right beside the feeder. I was shocked to see so many birds at the feeder with this hawk right there, eyeballing dinner.
I thought this was a Broad-winged Hawk but Apple Photos sayd it is Red-shouldered Hawk. I uses several apps anbd AI tools and it was different for most of them so who knows. I sure love those eyes.

I never dreamed I would take so many photos of Bald Eagles. So amazing to me. Check out those eyes.

We stopped by the one of the bird feeders at Big Woods one day last week and saw a number of brids. As we were about to drive away, we saw this Broad-winged Hawk in a tree just south of the feeder. You can fill in the blanks .. who knows. Nature is often beautiful, and sometimes a little sad. Death and life are connected. Make every day great.

We were hiking along the Great Miami River at Farrington Reserve when I saw a large bird fl;uy by just on the other side of the treeline. I thought it may be an eagle but I could not get a good view before it was out of sight. We walked a little further and as we approached the bridge over the river I saw this Bald Eagle. A few seconds later a second eagle flew out of the tree below this one. The pair both flew off. I am a bit of a raptor nerd.

What a surprise. Teresa was first to see her .. she was in a tree about 75 to 100 yards north of where we were hiking. We were at Garbry Big Woods Reserve taking a short hike on a busy day. Until I got a good zoom and could look at the photo I was not sure what we were looking at. Yes, it is a Osprey.
I have photographed an Osprey at Big Woods once before but that was a few years ago.
We tried to get closer but she flew away. Her wingspan was amazing. What an amazing sight.
