Hunting .. or Date Night

This is happening more frequently it seems. We were driving to a hiking location when I spotted this Red-tailed Hawk in a tree just off the road. I had Teresa stop the car so I could try to capture a photo. The hawk did not wait and took off. I figured that was it, but she circled and landed in the same tree. I snapped these photos.

A little later we drove by the same tree and saw two of them. The photos were not as good, but I figure it was a couple out for date night. 🤣

Just Snacking

I caught this American Tree Sparrow ... on the ground. I guess yhey were snacking on some grain that was on the ground near the feeder.

Flicker

The sky was very cloudy and the lighting did me no favors. This is a Northern Flicker but I could not get a good photo. I almost didn't share it, but they are not always great photos. Regardless, one cool bird.

Kestrel

This is an American Kestrel. For some reason I struggle capturing good photos of this spoecies of bird. This is not a bad photo, but the focus was just not perfect. Of course, I saw him when I was driving down a coutry road and I stopped for the photo. I guess it works.
