As the sky started to clear after the snow on Monday, I went out to take a few shots of the sky and snow. Some noisy starlings were chattering away in a tree on the edge of the field. And I notice this hawk perched nearby looking for an afternoon snack.
After a few minutes the hawk left his perch,
circled overhead, and flew off over the field looking for easier prey (or maybe a quieter place to perch).
These are great photos of the birds, i find that the birds around here are thicker in the early mornings, and then later on they seem to leave. And i still can't capture a great bird photo
Nice indeed. You really did capture the hawk beautifully. The last two photos are spectacular with the outstretched wing span... I have yet to get pictures of a hawk!
Great photos and I like the one of the hawk with his wings outstretched.

Great captures of the hawk! I have them come to my bird feeder from time to time for their own meal. I've only seen them have success one time.
ReplyDeleteLove the tail in the last shot!
