Sheila’s Bird Shots: ~ Red-tailed Hawk ~

soar, soaring higher

show us your magnificence

sky graced beauty

A morning visitor…..

This morning I heard a loud unique call. I knew right away what was making this mournful cry. The sound of a predator. My bird book describes it as “a harsh, descending keeeeer.” 

This adult Red-tailed Hawk circled over my hill for several minutes (long enough for me to run get my camera)  The entire time while circling, it continued to “cry” out. 

Usually they are silent when hunting, so I wonder what was making this Hawk call out?

circling, hunting

your grandeur is observed

existence your purpose
