Yesterday morning I found another pair of nest-building Red-tailed Hawks. Neither bird is a rufous color morph (like the female in the pair I’ve been photographing recently) but they’re still great photo subjects and I was able to document several interesting behaviors.
If you’re getting tired of photos of the rufous red-tail please bear with me. These photos were taken yesterday morning and one of them is among my favorites.
More photos of the red beauty taken about 10 days ago. This time I’ll include a similar photo of her mate for the sake of comparison.
This may turn out to be one of my favorite Red-tailed Hawk flight shots but I’m undecided about its composition.
I rarely post photos of the same species two days in a row but yesterday I spent more time with magpies and I like these two images well enough to make an exception. More than well enough, actually.
Fourteen photos of this spectacularly beautiful hawk perched, taking off and in flight. But yesterday Mr. Murphy showed up.
But first a more traditional look at a perched Barn Owl for those who may not appreciate the composition of the flight shot.
Due to my recent surgery I hadn’t been out shooting for over two weeks but when I saw there was a possibility for decent light yesterday morning I decided to give it a go. If felt good to be “out there” again.
Two unrelated post subjects this morning, one mysterious and one clinical. Clinical comes first so we can get it out of the way.
