Photographing raptors, i.e. hawks, owls,eagles, etc. is really my favorite thing. Sometimes I get these photographs and they disappear into my archives. Going through those archives I came upon these images of a Red-shouldered Hawk. I can’t say they are of the same hawk, but I do know that they were all taken in the vicinity of a nest down at Christoval, Texas, on the Dan Brown Ranch.

I hope you enjoy these images. I may have already posted one of them at an earlier time. Click on any of them to see some outstanding enlargements.

We never can forget red-shouldered’s. It’s all we have! They’re beautiful creatures. And loud.
I agree, Shannon, they are beautiful birds.
These are just excellent, Bob. We rarely see Red-Shouldered Hawks. Thanks for showing us these.
Thank you so much, Lisa. I am glad you like the images.
Lovely shots. I am partial to the first one. The color and lighting is eye pleasing.
Thank you very much, Alison, I kinda like the first one, too.
Beautiful!! The first image is my fav – seems as if the hawk is poising just for you and knows he is looking good!
Thanks, Beth. The first one is my favorite, too.
Wow. Really love these photos of the Red-shouldered Hawk! I think the composition and colors of the first one makes it my favorite! 🙂
Thank you very much, Jolene. I agree, the first one is my favorite. I love that stern expression that the hawk has.
Great shots!
Thanks, Jerry, I appreciate your nice comment.
Beautiful shots. I’m working on a hawk now, fascinating birds
