Red Shouldered Hawk





We have a new resident in our yard, a Red Shouldered Hawk. We emailed a picture to the Raptor Center in Charlotte and they told us what type he was. We knew this was a raptor because of the yellow talons! There was also one featured in our local newspaper a week ago so they must like the area since we are close to water. We're really enjoying watching him. He's out most days from about 9-2. I would love his schedule! Enjoy the pictures! (These were taken with my zoom lens... about 30 feet away. I am finally learning how to use it after having it a year!!!)
