I went for a bike ride to a park where they relocated an historic house from town (Mountain View, CA). I walked around the house and looked up to see this utterly calm noble hawk (to be identified) up in the eaves just taking in his view. Maybe he'd already had dinner, because he was in no rush to leave his perch.
I was shooting pictures of this young red-tailed hawk, hoping that it would give me a flight shot, but it seemed quite content perched where it was, occasionally preening. Just before I left it moved its wing, so I took some shots of that. It was only when viewing on the computer that I saw that I got a flight, after all, just not of the hawk! That bird sure is giving the wasp the eye!!!
Yeah, so true, at long last spring has sprung here as well. And the best thing about all this is that I finally got my truck back from its heart rejuvenation project. Unfortunately, I was told in no uncertain terms to keep the revs down for the first 500 clicks. Way to take the pleasure out of the reunion.
In the interest of putting as many miles on the vehicle as possible to get this arduous break-in task accomplished, I decided to go to Hawrelak Park but although there were the obligatory geese and a few ducks, this did not pan out well at all, possibly a bit rusty (me, that is) but I did manage to find the shutter release) and I headed home after getting a great rest on my (yes, mine) park bench. I figured it’d be a good idea to charge all my batteries and retrieve the 70D from its winter storage since my mobility had returned and I saw way more trips in the near future. I head outside, 70D in-hand, to see what damage there is to be done and wow, the Red-tailed Hawk that has escaped me forever is doing some circles overhead. And it turns out there is a moon up above as well. Spring can’t possibly get any better than this … yeah well of course it can, as soon as that engine is broken in … And let me point out that this is another of my environmentally friendly shots that did not require automotive pollution. No, this is not a composite and therefore could benefit from some compositional improvements.

And thank you Dean for showing a period in time when it was perfectly acceptable to have that smoke and enjoy it at the expense of the wellbeing of so many other people. Love his voice, probably enhanced by all that smoke in his lungs.
PS: Had I just talked about spring? Well criminy, today it’s snowing. 03-Apr-17
This very pretty Red-tailed Hawk was hunting rodents from it's perch in a seasonally-bare tree at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge last Friday. It repeatedly dove at critters in the weeds and then returned to this perch. Guess it was happy with it's perch!
Thanks for all of the very nice compliments below. This was really a beautiful bird that we were so happy to be able to share with you all...
This time, the hawk appears to be holding the upper hand, but that was just the flight paths; the crow was definitely the harasser here, too!

This is a juvenile and not as skittish as the adults usually are. It was wonderful to watch it hunt. I sometime wonder if the juvenile's acceptance of people nearby give them advantage in hunting. It simply waits on a lamp post or nearby tree and ignores people walking or jogging close by, thereby conserving energy and staying focused on its prey. I guess in the beginning they need to be a bit more brave or naive compared to the adult birds in order for them to beat the odds of their first year survival rates. Downsview Park, Toronto.
This Redtailed Hawk nailed this gray squirrel in my backyard. My wife accidentally spooked the hawk as she came around the corner of the house with the dog. The hawk took off and didn't return to retrieve the squirrel until the next day . After he picked it up he landed on this tree stump and then departed shortly thereafter.
