They are magnificent. I opened my door one morning to startle a bid of prey ,some kind of hawk, that was in the tree just 10 feet from the door. It flew to rest on the gate while I got to stand there silently and admire.
i remember living in an apartment in toronto and watching a red shouldered hawk land on the balcony railing. it could just as easily have been a visitor from another planet for all the crazed excitement i felt! they are so extraordinary and have such latent power. sweet capture verily!!! steven

ReplyDeleteIs that a Kestral? The tail markings look similar. Amazing to have him so close. Great pictures.
