Swede’s Photographs

Forest Sovereign

When there is a hawk around, I'm sure to grab my camera. This is a red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus).

"Although the American Crow often mobs the Red-shouldered Hawk, sometimes the relationship is not so one-sided. They may chase each other and try to steal food from each other. They may also both attack a Great Horned Owl and join forces to chase the owl out of the hawk's territory." - allaboutbirds.org

@Swede1952 excellent photo. It really captures the hawk’s personality. Thanks for sharing!
