November
17th, 2014. A juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk has visited the bird feeders on
several occasions – without much luck. On this morning, I saw a flash of white
and saw it alight on a thin branch just as it was getting light. There wasn’t
enough light to even think about photographs.
Later
in the morning it flew in again and settled on another branch for a few minutes. The branch was only about ¾-inches in diameter and the hawk ‘tucked’
its tail in to maintain its balance - compare with the position of its tail
when standing on the ground here. I think the hawk was aware of my presence judging by what appears to be a quizzical look on its face in the last image.
