Mostly Raptors of Late

 


The image shown above is a juvenile sharp shinned hawk. Although fairly common in these parts I rarely have one remain still long enough for a photo.

Below is a broad winged hawk taking flight...






Next is a red-tailed hawk...




A colorful house finch...


A skittish chipmunk...


And lastly, an eleven point whitetail buck...


Thanks for visiting, be well, and come back soon.

    What a great opportunity to capture photos of the sharp shinned hawk. I had a nest in another location and they were very interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing and happy holiday to you and your family.
