In the past months, these hawks...once seen just about every time I drove over the island highway, seem to now be scarce. I don't know why. But, it was kinda exciting to actually see one recently!!

I will not be visiting until I return from my break. Hope you all share and visit one another during my absence! Happy Birding!!!!
Have fun! Happy birding!
ReplyDeleteSplendid image of a great bird. I have seen it only once, in the Lower Rio Grande Valley
ReplyDeleteI have never seen one of these before. Maybe they go somewhere else to breed?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time away, Anni. We will look forward to your return.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite a handsome bird!
ReplyDeletewhen you come back follow this link, to see what ended up in our yard while you were on break. you were the ONE person I was axious to see what you thought.

Super pictures Anni. What a gorgeous hawk! You don't say where you're going but I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI read that many hawks die before their first birthday due to lack of food. At least the Cooper's Hawks around my area, here in Indiana. Maybe you haven't seen your hawks simply by chance and they're still around somewhere, enjoying their lives. I hope so. As I hope you're enjoying your break, dear friend. Breaks are good things and we will all be waiting when you return. ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of this hawk Anni. Have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteHave a great blogging break.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Yes dear it is a thrill to see them
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the handsome bird!
ReplyDeleteGlad you could see it again. Looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely hawk it is too. I thought it might be a Western Red-shouldered at first. What a marvelous picture too. I hope that you are doing well!
ReplyDeleteLove the raised-eyebrow look!
ReplyDeletehey are really majestic birds! Very nice images.
ReplyDeleteHere I am again, dearest Anni - I hope you are well!
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Traude

Hello Anni :=) A splendid looking hawk, and one I have never seen. Enjoy your break, and thank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed seeing what I am missing. When I commented on this previously, I dont know why I did not make the comment that it is the same with the hawks here. Previously, I could always count on seeing at least two or three hawks along a certain drive. Often 5 or 6. Mow mist often it is none. Or if I am lucky, one.
ReplyDeleteI am still not blogging...Roger feels better than he did when I last blogged.
