When I got up this morning I saw these two lumps in the tree two houses away through my bathroom window. Even with the binoculars I couldn't quite make out what they were. They didn't exactly look like squirrels' nests nor did they look like trash that had blown up there (very high btw). So I went out with the binoculars and the camera and managed to get these two (red shouldered hawks I believe) just before they flew off.
@photographycrazy Yes, although the photo was taken outside the house. Thank you. @wakelys I thought it was grand of them. They were on the prowl though, because the photos I took and didn't post, their heads were turned in different directions. Life is tough when you have to hunt for your food. Thanks Sue. @grammyn Thank you Katy. They were all plumped up like birds do when it's cold outside. I never thought about hawks doing that but it makes sense. @pyrrhula Thank you Ferry. I'm tickled it came out as clearly as it did. @kjarn I've never seen more than one at a time that I can remember. Thanks Kathy. @skipt07 They will Skip. The little birds always come back. @granagringa Thank you. No, I've never seen them perch in a tree and plump up like the song birds do. I've not seen two at a time either. @pusspup Thank you Wylie. It pleased me to no end. @jamibann Thanks Issi. I was tickled. @casablanca Thanks Casa. I wonder how long they had been there. At least as long for me to go from one room to outside with my binoculars and then back in and out with my camera. @ziggy77 Thanks so much Jo.
