A Second Chance

This was a second chance photo. I did not see this Red-tailed Hawk and he took off. I saw him flying, but it was too late to get a photo. As it turned out, he parked in a tree not too far away. Thanks, buddy.

A New Couple?

We have seen a pair of Bald Eagles hanging around Big Woods this past week. It does no appear to be the pair that has a nest closer to the Miami River. A new couple?

Let’s Crash This Feeder Party

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.

Life And Death

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.
