Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis)

 

I was looking out across the field yesterday and saw two of  these gorgeous Hawks sitting up in the trees.

Today I saw one them sitting in a small tree by the creek.  I was in the car ... grabbed the cam and started shooting.  Quality is not very good  .... cloudy and overcast day.

 

Only got one shot of him in the tree and then he took off.

 

 

 

 

 

He was soaring high in the sky .... looking down.  I'm sure he had his eye on a squirrel as there are quite a few that play around the creek all day.

 

 

I've always thought the Red-tailed Hawks are so beautiful.  They always amaze me with their beauty and grace  .... those big wings and that lovely red tail.
