Looking for Prey

This is the same American Red Tailed Hawk that I posted a few days ago. It is looking intently at a flock of crows in a tree about ¼ of a mile away. Apparently, like my dad, this hawk is a native of Jamaica, hence its Latin name Buteo jamaicensis. Like a lot of Jamaicans it is extremely fast, reaching 120 mph in a dive, but does it like Reggae too. In the original size I can see an outline of my reflection in the eye of this bird. Their vision is remarkable too and also binocular…

See me big

 

See, not just silly, but informative too…
