I have been trying to photograpy this American Kestrel for weeks. I see him every time we go to Big Woods but can never get close. This week I stopped in the middle of the road to get this shot. I had to do it from a distance but it is not bad. I yealled, "Gotcha" and felt instant satisfaction.

It has been a while since I photograpned a Red-shouldered Hawk. I loove how he looked back at my direction without moving his body.

We visited Garby Big Woods yesterday. We didn't see much, but on the way home we saw a beautiful Red-tailed Hawk. Sadly, we were not able to capture a photo.
As we crossed a bridge over the Miami River Teresa saw and captured a photo of this Bald Eagle perched over the river. I think this one recently molted. It must be about 4 years old so it will be looking for a mate sometime over the next year. How exciting.

I captured this Eagle as it was flying near their nest. I did not see the mate, but I think it was down in the nest. For some prespective the second photo shows the nest with the same eagle to the right. This is one very large nest.

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. 🤣
