#redshoulderedhawk

I glanced out the back door and spotted a red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus) perched on a limb, eyeing my bird feeders like a feathered predator on surveillance duty. Gives “bird feeders” a whole new meaning, doesn’t it? I grabbed my camera and started snapping—but the hawk took off, and that’s when I realized there was no SD card in the camera. I fixed that blunder, then Charlie and I sat outside for a bit, hoping the hawk might return. To our surprise, it did—something I wished for but didn’t actually expect. The funny part? A bunch of pigeons loitered on the roof of my little garage, completely unfazed. Maybe they know the hawk can’t catch them.

Was doing some thinking and wanted to paint up a Phoenix Hawk themed off a bird - so I took my favorite, the Killdeer. But I haven't gotten a lot of painting done and the torso was EATEN BY A CAT

Done! StPetersBird.com has launched and is all up-to-date! The latest entry is about this beauty: the Red-Shouldered Hawk (2022 Calendar October Bird). Please check out the website, for the love of birds. And let me know if anything strikes you, good or bad. You could even order one of the last 3 remaining 2022 St. PetersBird calendars. Soon you'll be able to pre-order the 2023 St. PetersBird calendar. But first, I'll let my Patreon supporters vote on which of my bird photos they'd like to see next year. And no, I don't plan on creating an Instagram account for St. PetersBird. Too many social media accounts distract from bird watching. #stpetersbird #birdnerd #raptor #birdofprey #hawk #redshoulderedhawk #birdfreaks #birds_adored #yourshotphotographer https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj1XFyTtLGe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
