Good Morning for me :) (Buteo jamaicensis)

Red-tailed Hawk
Brought my first coffee out on my back deck, sat down and looked up and I see this Hawk perched quietly. Thankfully, I never leave my home w/o my camera. Took my first sip and the movement didn't bother it so I slowly picked up my camera and clicked :) One more to follow tomorrow.

An excellent shot of this splendid buteo KC, with an enjoyable narrative. That perch must attract raptors pretty regularly I guess. This is a reminder that we're all optimists when it comes to seeing birds ("anything could happen") and to always have a camera to hand.
