Chatting with a Red-tailed Hawk

As usual, I headed over to the cemetery at lunch to see what I could see. Yesterday I found a Red-tailed Hawk and a Western Kingbird on the edge of the golf course so I went back with camera in had to see what might be there today. The Kingbird was gone but the hawk was still around.

It was in its usual spot waiting for smaller birds to fly by. I walked over and at first it flew to the fairway but then returned to the tree again. It was concerned with all of the Palm Warblers bouncing around beneath it that it barely noticed me. When it did it didn't seem to care.

Great light. Great closeness.

Great lunch break.
