A Patient Hawk

It has been a while since we photographed a Broad-winged Hawk. This one surprised me by how long she allowed us to take pictures. We were close and moving .. she didn't take off. Beautiful bird.

Lunch Hunt

We were just making our way along this trail near the Stillwater river when we saw this Broad-winged Hawk in a nearby tree. She was just eyeballing us as we walked by. I think she was 35 feet away. As we contined she did finally fly a little away, but it was great to see this beautiful raptor.

Free Flying

As we drove into the Nature Preserve parking lot, we saw this Broad-winged Hawk making her entry as well. She parked in a tree across the field, where I was able to capture a couple photos. The best photo may be this one, as she grew nervous about our cameras and took flight to a more secure, and hidden location.

We have not been out to make a video for a few days. Teresa sprained her knee, and I have been getting in some extra biking with one of my sons. I hope we can get out sometime this week.

Brave Hawk or Napping Eagles

I photographed this hawk a couple of days ago while she was hunting over a large open field. There is nothing unusual about this photo, other than the fact that this hawk was hunting about 50 feet from an eagles nest. The last photo is the nest. Clearly, the eagles were not here, but they sound be soon. Brave hawk or napping eagles ...

And if you are still reading .... I had some good news yesterday. I had my bi-annual PSA test, and I am still cancer free. Made my day!

Earlier this week, we were out driving around while looking for birds to photograph. We had stopped at Garbry Big Woods but had not seen anything so I was ready to head towards home. Teresa starts pointing towards the sky ... I didn’t see anything at first, but then I saw this beautiful hawk flying overhead. I managed to capture her in this photography. I was at a perfect angle and she was at the right spot for an amazing photograph. I really like this photo.
