Hawks [View all]

What a morning! I saw--through my front door--a hawk flying towards my house. Turned and saw through the living room window the shadow of it flying overhead. It perched on the roof three houses away. Managed a shot through my window, but when I went outside it flew away into the woods beyond the pond.

So, I got a cup of coffee and went out on my covered porch with the camera to wait and see if it would come back.

My best three shots.

I think it's a red shouldered hawk.







After it flew back into the woods again, it came out a few minutes later accompanied by a second hawk! I think the second one is a Cooper's hawk--on the left--and the original one--on the right--from the previous two shots is a red shouldered hawk.
