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).
Great photos and I like the one of the hawk with his wings outstretched.
ReplyDeleteHappy SWF.
Oh WOW, what great photo's!!
ReplyDeleteTake care and Happy SWF
What a fabulous photos! I love them all, but have to admit the last one is special! Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletegreat pics I love the hawks... we had the priviledge of seeing one catch a squirrell here in our yard! what a master in flight!
ReplyDeleteHappy SWF!
lovely hawk, and you got a great picture of him.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot of the Red-tailed Hawk!
ReplyDeleteThat last one was just great! Nice catch.
ReplyDeleteThese 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
ReplyDeleteLew,
ReplyDeleteLove what you have here! I like that last one especially, too.
Last pic is my fav, love the colours on the wings.
ReplyDeleteExcellent shots of the hawk, Lew! :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent shots as always Lew.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.

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!
ReplyDeleteNice 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!
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend is going well...
