This beautiful hawk was perched just a few feet from the ground in a marshy clearing keeping a watchful look out for it's usual prey which includes small mammals, lizards, snakes, frogs, crayfish and insects.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.

Steller's sea eagle (Haliaeetus pelagicus), also known as Steller's fish eagle, Pacific sea eagle or white-shouldered eagle. Often called the world’s most magnificent bird of prey, the Steller’s sea-eagle is dark, impressive, the largest of all sea-eagles, and the heaviest known eagle. San Diego Zoo,

I've never seen a Red-shouldered Hawk do what this one did today. It came down from the top of the tree, obviously with prey in its sights, right in front of a group of photographers. It then hovered right in front of us for seconds, landing on the bannister adjacent to the group, then flew back to the trees but landed upside down on a branch before taking off in embarrassment a few seconds later. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Back from our recent trip to Florida where we caught up with our friends Mark and Linda and enjoyed a few visits to the Circle B Bar Reserve.

Here are a couple of Red-shouldered Hawks taking time out in the shade during a very sunny and hot afternoon.

As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.

I had to wait awhile, trying to detect any sign of intention as this hawk sat on a snag, surveying its surroundings. I didn't have a tripod so I couldn't just stay focused on him. The wait paid off as I got this power turn shot. Thanks for checking it out.

It was great to see the pair of Black-shouldered Kites back in the Sneydes Rd area this morning. I observed them collecting nesting material again.

I will be back later to catch up - got to run for now.

This is the second image I managed to get of this hawk taking off into the wind against me. Sometimes you get lucky and they give you an opportunity even when conditions aren't right. Peaceful Waters Sanctuary

Another day, another storm.

Just before the rain set in, a little break of sunlight set the Kite against the approaching storm clouds.

south meadows trail. i think you can see feathers stuck to its beak from its last meal.

i saw this beast a few days ago--drove right by it, but when I got out of the car, it flew to a higher perch.

yesterday, i realized it wasn't afraid of my car, so i just rolled up to it, rolled down the window and started blasting.
