    I took these photos before spring but forgot to share them with you all.
    This is the red shoulder hawk that lives by our pond. Every year the hawk and his/her mate have babies. We love to see them take there babies out to teach them to hunt.

    Daph your photographs are superb. :D I would love to see any photographs you might be able to get of the young hawks as I am interested in all birds of prey.

    Absolutely stunning photos of a very impressive bird. I love it! You're so lucky to have them living near you.

    Love the shot of him/her in flight. They'll certainly take care of any critter problems!

    I'll definitely get some baby photos when they start to fly. My husband thinks the babies look like little fuzz balls flying.
