This morning we had a hawk land in the big juniper in the field. The hawk obviously wanted husband to photograph his "good side" and turned his head. Look at that beak and talons!
What do you call this remarkable bird there? It is attractive and looks like it has a nice, thick and warm jumper on. It does indeed look like it has a grip on things.
Sjoerd, it is a Red Tail hawk. They are fairly common around here, and welcome because they eat vermin. The one in the photo is all fluffed out because it was a cold morning (cold by our standards, anyway!)
