Corrected from Red Shouldered Hawk to Peregrine Falcon thanks to Dave bringing it to my attention. I thought something was off about it but I don't think these Falcons are all that common around here so it didn't even cross my mind! THANKS Dave!! :)
I was sitting in my car, camera focused on this bird not even sure what it was. One second he's just sitting on the branch and in an instant he launches off like he was on a mission. Might be one of the most unusual bird shots I've taken.
@darchibald I do believe you're right Dave! There was just something so off & weird about his eye, he just didn't look right, now I know why. Looked it up and there has been a restoration effort in Iowa but mostly successful around Des Moines & along the Mississippi River. So I'm not crazy, there was something about weird about him!! :) Thanks for the heads up, appreciate it!
