Saturday's Critters #444

 This past week, we took a ride thru the Great Adventure Drive Thru Safari.
I posted lots of pictures of the beautiful, well cared for animals here and here.
On our way to Great Adventure, the hubs spotted a Hawk sitting on a fence, roadside,
I missed it.
He spun the car around and went back, the Hawk was still sitting there.
It was a rural area, no one behind us, so the hubs was able to stop in the middle of the road for pictures.

I am sharing all of the pictures I took, as it is all I have for today.
I think this may be a Juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk.







Sharing today's images with Eileen at

I love all of the picture that you take. I've always wanted to obtain a picture of the male and female northern cardinals that you have taken such fabulous pictures of. The house that we bought came with little signs of cardinals, switch plates, picture hanging in the laundry area in the basement, a black storage bench with hand painted cardinals on it and real cardinals that come and visit a "special" (have no clue what kind it is) shrub, for the berries, in our back yard.
The pictures of the hawk are fabulous. I got a couple of shots through our kitchen window of a hawk in our back yard last summer. It was being antagonized by a large raven. I went to take pictures from a different window and they were gone. Your shots are much nicer than mine but mine do give me proof that it was there. Ranee (Rae) (MN)

Beautiful hawk! Yesterday I saw a bald eagle but did not get a picture. I was driving and he flew over the road and disappeared.

Nice "National Geographic" photo work! And you didn't offer him any morsels from your lunch basket? Linda in Kansas

You got some marvelous images of an adult Red-tailed Hawk, rather than a juvenile. The red feathers of the tail is a sign of adult status. It is quite large and since the females are larger than the males in Birds of Prey, this is quite possibly a female. Nice that the hubs stopped for you. These are great~
