Soaring Hawk
Sometimes nature is just right
outside our window……or, in this case, just off our back patio! I was so lucky to capture this true creature
of nature, among the civilized, but still holding true to his wild self.
Hawk
At first, I wasn’t certain if this
was a falcon or a hawk, but Jeff later determined it was a hawk – a large
soaring hawk. Here, he’s sitting on our
neighbor’s fence, just sort of surveying the landscape around him.
Taking Off
Suddenly, he decided he was off to
explore. I couldn’t believe how lucky I
was to be standing in the right spot with my camera already focused on him, so
all I had to do was snap! His wings look
far too big for his body – and check out those talons!
Wingspan
I love this view of his
wingspan. He looks so graceful as he
charts his course of flight.
Flying
And he’s off! He’s heading off to where the hunting is
better, perhaps. In any event, his
graceful soaring was certainly a sight to behold.
Enjoy!
