We spotted this hawk, a Red Tail I think and although he moved around, hunting and feeding I was able to get some pretty good shots.
He flew from his perch in a tree before I could get my camera up. He didn't go far though and perched on a fence.
He took off, went to ground and I think found a tidbit that he took to this tree.
Then he was off again.See more skies here.

You've got some beautiful big birds in your area, and it's wonderful that you can catch them in flight!
Great shots of this beautiful bird, you must have been excited to get these. What a great capture.
Phenomenal shots! I love the silhouette! Glad he was cooperative.
Very nicely done.
Fabulous pictures of the hawk. Great shots
Impressive! Not only your photos but your knowledge. I can't tell one predator bird from another.
Beautiful pictures of a beautiful bird. Thanks.
The first one is beautiful !

What an amazing silhouette of that hawk! Very impressive capture! Wow!
Cool photos of the hawk. What a neat visitor.
When I walk I tend to watch my feet, also looking for rocks, and then bump my head. Glad you were looking up for this great sighting. Plus a bonus to catch it hunting and eating. Great captures.
I enjoyed this sequence of shots of the hawk so much. Great job at showing it at rest and in flight.
Wow! Did you go there to look for the eagle? Beautiful sequence of the eagle.
These are really awesome shots. I chuckled when you said it is a wonder you don't trip and fall cuz you are looking up..me too!
Great shots! You really do keep your eyes open to catch some great scenes. But do watch out so you don't trip and fall!
Beautiful shots Martha! A big grin on the first paragraph! I do that too, I am more scared if I trip and break my camera!
P.S. Your comment went to spam, don't know why.
Great photos!
Very nice capture of the hawk! And nice that he staryed in the open long enough for you to get several shots.
The first shot is wonderful, and the others are great! Good job!
Thanks for the visit!
Great shots! I'm always looking up down and all around too!
Thanks for stopping by!
Great shots of a magnificent bird.
Fantastic shot of the bird in the first photo. Lovely.
Beautiful shots, particularly the last inflight one.
Fantastico uccello !!
The silhouette of the first shot is simply amazing! I'm lost for words.
Those are great photos and I'm sure not the easiest to get. Thanks for the post
Great series of shots. It takes a good camera and lot of skill to get such good photos.
Just fantastic shots. He was quite a good subject for you. The sillouette at the top is wonderful.
Great shots of a beautiful bird.
I'd say you got some really great shots of him! WoW!
Martha, great capture of the hawk! Thank you for stopping by and introducing yourself.
Wow! What great photos!
I tend to run into low growing tree branches, because I am always looking at the plants on the ground ;0)
Thanks so much for stepping in my tuscany; I loved it!!
Wonderful pictures!!!!!
I looked at this wonderful hawk and I emember our "CHJ"....we found 2 years ago a hawk in the woods, very weak..he couldn't anymore fly!
We feeded him; we let him freely in our woods..it was an incredible experience: he got well again and he still lives close in these hills...!
have a great weekend
The first photo is awesome!! It's such a beautiful bird.
Happy weekeknd for you:)
wonderful photos and how grand that you got to view this!
I always receive wonders when looking at the sky. I think it must be same to you.
What MARVELOUS views you've captured and shared here. That first one is amazing, but they're all wonderful ;-)
Hugs and blessings,
My Sky Watch
This is a fantastic avian, sitting tall and proud as he contemplates his next morsel. The profile as he flies in the sky is elegant, as these wide winged birds are so graceful in flight...
What amazing photos of the bird in flight - wow! Thanks for your visit to my skywatch post, and yes, I think you should return to Venice/Burano with your new cameras - any excuse will do :)
Great shots! Amazing silhouette of the hawk!
