    This red-tailed hawk swooped overhead and then rose swiftly, I barely had time to raise my camera and try to zoom in for one or two shots.

    Red-tailed Hawk in an Awkward Situation

    Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) juvenile. I thank everyone for their concern about our well being during the winter crises in Texas. Outside of being worried and on edge everyday and night we have so far remained with power and potable water. We ventured out yesterday to pick up a few...
