Red-shouldered Hawk

A shame about the branches in the way, but when one actually gets to see one of these beauties, one shoots anyway.

Happy almost weekend, everyone! Peace

Branches are so annoying and they always seem to be in trees, where the birds are. The lovely yellow background kind of makes up for any shortcomings in front of this hawk though.

So pretty. Honestly, the branches work in favor and adds to the natural beauty. The branches do not distract here at all. ♥️
