The red-tailed hawk couple are still hanging around near where we hike at Big Woods. I love this photo. It was not great lighting, but what a beautiful bird.

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.

This is one of my favorite Hawk photos. I love the intensity of those eyes.

Monday morning I took an early hike along the Mimai River in Piqua. I do a morning hike like this often, but this was a special day.
The experience occured just before I shot the previous photo. As I was walking, out of the corner of my eye, I saw somehing large decend on the river. I quickly turned to my left and this is what I saw.
I was standing farily close to the river, where this Bald Eagle was about 25 yards from me. What a surprise. I expected her to fly away at any time. I had my iPhone with, so I snapped a few photos using the 3x optical zoom. Sadly, that was just not enough. I cropped a couple of them (below), but it really does not really show you how close she was .. and how glorious. What an amazing experience.

I am about 90% certain this is a Northern Harrier. I watched her for a while then tried to get a good photo. Sadly this was the the best photo I captured. I guess she was fun to watch but difficult to photograph.
