Blink

One more of the Red-tailed Hawk. Thought this would be interesting because you can see he's blinking with the nictitating membrane, a third eyelid. Looks a little freaky.

That does look a little freaky! Cool capture

[Sheila]

Definitely cool! What an awesomely beautiful bird! Do you live near a preserve for them that you can get so many ?

[Margaret Tryon]

Excellent capture. It is a bit freaky.

[Karin DeCollibus]

Freaky cool.

[Saira Priest]

Great capture! We have several hawks feeding at our bird feeders that we are trying to identify and we think they are coopers hawks. I will be posting a blurry pic for tomorrow if you can let me know what it is. Thx!

[Saira Priest]

Sorry I had to post for Jan 3 or 4

[Elizabeth Howard]

Great capture, Robert! I always wanted to be able to blink like that. But, alas, I cannot.

[Robin]

Another great capture. Beautiful bird.

Beautiful bird, his eye may look strange but just look at the pattern of his feathers.
