[…] I did get a glimpse of majesty yesterday, though. Right in my own backyard. Hubby spotted her and I was called to duty – it went a little like this: Honey! Camera! Hurry! Hawk! She was beautiful, and I was only mildly creeped out by the size of her blood tinged talons. A girl’s gotta eat though, huh? […]
[…] The girls call Grampa Grackle evil. I have to agree. He scares them – in fact when I was uploading images with Chickeymonkey on my lap, she turned her head away from his photos. We’re a nature loving family – but we’re all in agreement on this one. He’s one critter we just do not like.

AMAZING shot! Next time maybe you can have him eating asquirrel 🙂
BEAUTIFUL!! I love Hawks. This is an amazing picture.

[…] morning, I spotted a Red-Tailed Hawk flying low through my back yard. That was cool. Mid-day, I listened as a Northern Flicker chirped […]
your photo is much clearer and closer than mine, I wish my bird would come down a few feet, or 10, so I could get a better shot
