Redtailed Hawk

We have company from Massachusetts and today she and I went for a walk.
This is what we saw:

Since we have company, I might be a bit scarce here.
I hope you don’t mind. Just know that I’ll be out taking photos!

    Beautiful pictures. I’m sure you are talking about Emily being your company? She must be getting to see a lot of new things. Wonderful pictures. Have a good time with your company :)

      No, Thom. — Nancy, Amoeba’s SIL is our company. Emily, as I said, is a student in Amoeba’s class — but you get extra points for noticing that they are both from Massachusetts. BTW, Amoeba is, too.

      Nicole — I wish the shots had been more clear. I think around here I should just permanently put the camera on an action setting!

  3. Gorgeous pictures. You’ve captured it well.

    Great shot. The red tail rarely looks that red in person. If I’m not here when you get back, I’ll return shortly.

    • Quilly says:

      Doug — I said to NAncy, What kind of bird do you think that is? And the bird banked, showing us his tail. We said together, “Redtail.” But I think it’s really reddish-brown!

    Interesting that it’s called a Redtailed hawk, we have a similiar bird over here called a Red Kite. Birds of Prey are always impressive though.

    • Quilly says:

      Bazza, your Kite and our Hawk are of the same family — Accipitridae — but otherwise, they appear to be quite different.

    How lucky you are to get such amazing shots of the red tailed hawk. We live just on the outskirts of a PA State park and we get to see hawks and eagles often. We just never have our camera in hand when they fly over – darn it!
