Despite being located in the midst of a sprawling megalopolis, our neighborhood is still a pretty good one for nature. The past month in particular has been great for variety, although most of the buggers won’t sit still long enough to allow photographs. While I’ve heard this hawk dozens of times, and seen him several more, tonight was the first night where he was feeling photogenic. The photo below was taken about seventy-five feet from our front door.
Red-shouldered hawk.
I came across your site when I was looking for pictures of Wonder Lake campground using Google. You have a great eye, and if you’re not making money with your photography, you should be. Thanks for posting them.
Thanks! I’ve got a number of friends who are professionals, and I don’t envy them the amount of work it takes to make a living doing photography, so for now I’ll remain in the amateur ranks and merely bask in the compliments of others 🙂
