Re: Local Wild Animals and Birds
I agree that it's a Red Shouldered Hawk. They are common here, too. Though, not so common as to photograph one from just a few feet away. That was special.

Thanks. I zoomed in and could clearly see it was a hawk.clovishound wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2026 4:19 pmActually, it's a red shouldered hawk. There are three or four of them that patrol the neighborhood. At least one pair has nested in our small subdivision. I seldom see one perching in one of my trees, but have seen it a couple times.Sir Henry wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2026 1:44 pmNice shot of the owl.clovishound wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2026 8:10 pmStepped outside to make a phone call, too much noise in the house, and saw this guy looking down at me from one of the trees.

Too bad he wouldn't get busy and take care of some of these guys.

Very Cool! I grow quite a bit of milkweed.
