I’ve been watching this bird on a power pole over by the RV Park all morning. So I walked over to get a closer look at this raptor. What a beautiful bird. I wish I had a better lens that could zoom in for everyone. It’s the best I can do. If you notice he’s got a piece of fish in his talon
We went out to Hazel Bazemore County Park yesterday, to see the raptors. In the fall they have record numbers of raptors migrate through this area on their southward migrations. They count more birds there than anywhere else in the country according to those who keep the stats for Bird Watch which is Hawk Watch International We saw some amazing birds but realized immediately i didn’t have the appropriate lens or camera system to capture much of what passed by that afternoon. I’ll have to invest some money in better optics soon I have a feeling. Nonetheless, we caught this fellow on the pole as we were driving out of the park. I suggest all go see this beautiful place if you can.
Caught this little guy on the feeder long after dark. Our days are growing shorter by the minute, the leaves have mostly fallen and there is a hint of snow in the air. The hawk returns.
