I was out on my driveway doing some repair work last week and what did I see? A flash of feathers that landed on my neighbor’s house across the street. The work could wait as I retrieved by camera and monopod. This is a Red-shouldered Hawk as evident by the small patch of red on the wing close to its neck and head.
This is not the order I took the photographs but once I achieved some closeups and the hawk was still there, I did a sequence of wide to tight shots just for fun.
