Nature Walks – The Ferruginous Hawk

Today, while Larry and I were sitting out on our deck, enjoying lunch, I spotted this beautiful Ferruginous Hawk way up high in a distant tree. At first I thought it was a Golden Eagle, but once I got my camera out and was able to zoom in on him, I saw he was not an eagle at all. The name Ferruginous means rust-colored, and they are very much like little eagles, so I wasn’t completely wrong at first. I only got a couple of good shots of him because he was so far away, and my camera didn’t want to focus in on him. It kept focusing in on things I could care less about instead. I really wish I could have gotten more pictures of him, but there is always next time. I love the hawks. I think he is absolutely gorgeous.

Life is full of surprises. You just never know what you’ll see, or when, or where. Keep your eyes open and be ready for the unexpected. Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay cool, stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
