Bob yelled, "Quick, a hawk in the tree."
I rushed to the window, saw who he was talking about, though almost
hidden behind the dead leaves.
Asked him to grab my camera while I gently pulled up the blinds!
Dive-bombing small, very fast, noisy birds were hitting the young
Red-tailed hawk's head, but it stayed just long enough for me to get a
few photos then apparently said to itself, enough of this malarkey,
I'm off to greener pastures.
I always enjoy unexpected garden visitors!

Apparently, it’s not easy being a red-tailed hawk. Great photos!
ReplyDelete. . . . . and they are adept at ridding the garden of some unwanted critters such as voles, moles, mice!
DeleteA noble hawk, you did well to get the photos.
ReplyDeleteGood that he stayed long enough for a couple of photos but not long enough to snatch a snack. :/
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a beauty! Can't blame the smaller birds though for wanting to get rid of him as quickly as possible.
ReplyDeleteWow! He is indeed a beauty. Lucky you got a couple shots, they are beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marilyn - I felt sorry for it when the little birds became so angry, they kept hitting him on the head!
DeleteWhat a majestic visitor to your garden! Glad you could snap a few photos before he flew off.
ReplyDeleteWOW! We see them flying around out back off our deck, but not up close. You got some great photos.
