Red Tailed Hawks. What beautiful creatures. Most raptors are not so generous with great stares and fierce looks. However, his true intent is tolerating onlookers while waiting for a nearby rodent entree to get in position
There is a serenity and beauty in watching birds.
It only took a few minutes after putting down the camera to enjoy the REAL reason for today's visit, hand feeding! My palm outstretched it was almost immediate that this cutie landed on my fingertips, rifled through all my seed offerings then gently lifting off using thrust from tiny wings which brushed upon my face. The experience is so memorable A tiny tickle or grasp of their claws is to be felt. It will stay with you. After a half hour of this cute Chickadee and his pals I had to leave.
