Many thanks for all your continued comments and faves, which are very much appreciated. Here's hoping for a travel restriction free 2022.
nice to get some shots from the hide across the woodland I quite often lose them in this area and get blurry shots
Red-tailed Hawk
The Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) is a bird of prey, one of three species colloquially known in the United States as the "Chickenhawk," though it rarely preys on standard sized chickens. It breeds throughout most of North America, from western Alaska and northern Canada to as far south as Panama and the West Indies, and is one of the most common Buteos in North America. Red-tailed hawks can acclimate to all the biomes within their range. There are fourteen recognized subspecies, which vary in appearance and range. It is one of the largest members of the genus Buteo in North America, typically weighing from 1.5 to 3.5 pounds, and measuring 18–26 inches in length, with a wingspan from 43–57 inches. The Red-tailed Hawk displays sexual dimorphism in size, with females averaging about 25% heavier than males. The bird is sometimes referred to as the red-tail for short, when the meaning is clear in context.

Peregrine Falcon - Falco Pelegrinus
the name down. I believe it is a species that lives in the far east(desert) areas but I'm afraid thats the extent of my knowledge, needless to say I took this at the Raptor Centre. I just fell in love with bird, the eye-lashes did it for me...I'm easily distracted so Name???? just focused on the eye-lashes..sorry, not a very good documentation....who couldn't fall in love with this face..he could be an author, an artist, just an all around interesting soul!.
