We have quite a few different species of hawks that call Colorado home. We have Cooper’s Hawks, Sharp-Shinned Hawks, Northern Goshawks, Swainson’s Hawks, Red-Tailed Hawks, Ferruginous Hawks and Rough-Legged Hawks. The Red Tails are the most prolific hawks we see in our area, but every now and then we see other types as well. We see them quite often too.
I love the hawks and all the other birds of prey. They are graceful, majestic warriors like none other. They are almost always perched up high, to get a good hawk’s view of the surrounding area or are soaring high in the skies, hunting their prey.
Here are some of my recent hawk sightings. This one looks like a Ferruginous Hawk.

It’s hard for me to get good shots of them in flight. This one will have to do for now.

This one is a Red-Tailed Hawk.



Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
Excellent shots!

While it might be due to a little bit of luck, your pictures are great due to being ready to take a picture when luck happens!

Hawks are kind of medium-big birds. They are bigger than small birds but about 1/2 the size of eagles.

Wonderful pictures. We have so many hawks in our area. I love driving down the highways and seeing them sitting on all the fence posts looking for their dinner.
