Was chatting with a friend when this red shoulder hawk stopped by for a rest and as per usual the camera wasn't far from my reach.

We spotted this Red-shouldered Hawk on our way out of the water treatment plant. Our good day ended even better than it started with the addition of this beautiful Red Shouldered Hawk. The RSH is medium-sized, with broad, rounded wings and medium-length tails that they fan out when soaring. Adults are colorful hawks with dark-and-white checkered wings and warm reddish barring on the breast. The tail is black with narrow white bands. Immatures are brown above and white below streaked with brown. All ages show narrow, pale crescents near the wingtips in flight.

The Black-shouldered Kite is monogamous unless its mate dies. In the event of a partner dying it will seek out a new mate.

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.

Looking back over my shoulder

I can see that look in your eye

I never dreamed it could be over

I never wanted to say goodbye

Looking back over my shoulder

With an aching deep in my heart

I wish that we were starting over

Oh instead of drifting so far apart

I love this song

Whether wheeling over a swamp forest or whistling plaintively from a riverine park, a Red-shouldered Hawk is typically a sign of tall woods and water. It’s one of our most distinctively marked common hawks, with barred reddish-peachy underparts and a strongly banded tail. In flight, translucent crescents near the wingtips help to identify the species at a distance. These forest hawks hunt prey ranging from mice to frogs and snakes.

Another day, another storm.

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