and very aware that I was watching him. With the change in seasons birds are migrating and found this guy lurking in the neighbors tree. He looks small but when he flew away, his wing span was impressive. Wish I knew what kind of bird of prey he was.
This Red Tailed Hawk is waiting for a train on the Chicago line to flush out prey. There is no vying for prey with the Eagles.
This pair was on the the fence posts when I turned out the horses this morning. They both had their wings outstretched..... after one took off the other stayed and the one flew right over my head in a circle... when he flew off I saw the other had taken off. One had white underneath and the other brown all over.
I found a break in the rain this morning and took a walk by the nest. "Mom" was sitting still at the East end of the park. Nothing exciting. As I was leaving she moved into the nest and came back out moments later with some kind of carcass / bone. She landed on another branch, quickly dropped whatever she had carried out then flew back toward the Rodin. I need help identifying the dropped remains.
