This Red Shouldered Hawk was hanging out in my neighbors yard a few weeks back. I was able to get surprisingly close. There was another one nearby. I waited and watched to see if this was a courtship or a battle, but neither came about.There are quite a few of these beauties in the area. I watched last summer as one swooped into the lake and grabbed a water moccasin. He dined on half and came back later to finish devouring his prey.
They really are beautiful and majestic.
