I've been hearing the hawks in my neighbor's yard for the past few days. This morning while eating breakfast I saw them up high in the trees. As I shot pictures the morning light became golden. I watched this hawk pull a branch from the tree and fly back and place it in the nest. What an incredible sight and what a magnificent bird.
What a great shot with the sun on the open wing and tail feathers! And how wonderful that you were able to witness its nest building activities- very cool! Fav
