Dave Thomas has been at it again, getting some amazing hawk photos and once again, these were taken right from his balcony (lucky duck!)
The hawk here is a Red-Shouldered Hawk and you can see it coming into the nest and sitting on it. We can’t wait to see the eggs and young in coming weeks – what a great nature story playing out outside Dave’s home!
There was a hawk that kpe visiting my backyard pond during the photos. I took some photos but couldn’t quite ID him until now. He had those beatuiful polka dotted feathers. Is it possible he was visiting South Riding regularly? I saw him at least four times.
Hmmn, I need to watch what I type. I meant during the snow…oh, well.
