Walking with Charlotte and out from the trees there suddenly appeared a shadowy bird, swooping very low and closely over our heads. A Red-tailed Hawk!
He perched for a moment on a nearby limb, turning his head in all directions, hungrily triangulating the landscape for a tasty meal. Next he flew to a nearby telephone pole, and then over the houses towards the Harbor.
A few minutes later the Red-tailed reappeared, followed by several crows noisily haranguing and giving him the business, in no uncertain terms!

Good Morning Gloucester 
Although every one of your nature photos is a work of art, the hawk pix just blew me away…I can finally see the red tail…

Thank you so much Joanne for your very kind words.
Yes, I thought that too–there’s no mystery with this hawk photo on what species 🙂
