Description:

One of two "resident" red-tailed hawks that live in my neighborhood. He was hunting in the early morning and was not happy about me watching.

Fantastic spotting!

Even more jealous, since you have his "routine" down. I love the raptors.
EmilyMarino
Thanks again Heather! This guy is cool! He likes to hunt from this one specific tree, so I always see him. I try not to bother him every time I see him, even though I want to! lol!

What a great series! So nice to have not one but two resident hawks in your neighborhood. How lucky for you. Great photography. Love the colors.

Thank you! This is a very acrobatic male hawk that lives near my house with his mate. He always puts on a nice show for me, but I rarely get good pictures because of it!

Thank you all! This was my first time photographing a bird in flight! I feel like I got really lucky!
