Nature Walks – Day Of The Hawks

It was a hawky kind of day. No, not hockey, but hawky. I tried a new trail today. Again, it was very close to our house, but a new trail that offered lots of new findings. I found out it that it actually is a new trail too, and has only been around, in its current state, for about 6 months or so and is still being constructed. It was a beautiful trail with lots of nature to explore.

I love my hawks, and I saw so many hawks along this trail. Again, I saw a couple different kinds too.

I saw this Red-tailed hawk fly in and land on someone’s roof. He let me get some good shots before moving on.

As I continued down my trail, there were many more hawks that came my way as well.

This is just one very lucky shot. I have never had a shot like this before.

This is a Ferruginous Hawk. He was perched up high on the wires.

He can almost turn his head completely around in a circle. He was definitely on the lookout and on the hunt.

Seeing these hawks alone definitely made my day, but I wasn’t done yet. No, no. Far from it. On my loop back, I saw another hawk in the tree.

And one quickly became two.

Besides all my beautiful hawks, hawks are some of my absolute favorite birds, I also saw another type of “bird” in flight. I took a picture of a drone, probably taking pictures of my taking pictures if it. It was a little freaky, especially since he was so close, and whizzed passed my head way too many times.

It was definitely an interesting walk, on many levels. 🙂

Have a great day and make everyday great. You just never know what you’ll see. Take it all in. 🙂

  1. Those hawks look incredible. I’ve never had a moment like that myself—definitely not with hawks—but I get the sense of awe. I think I’d just freeze and watch, probably forget to reach for the camera.
