Swede’s Photographs

Majestic, Red-Shouldered Hawk

This is an image I've had for a while. The red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus) was perched in an oak tree inside my backyard fence. I'm sure the bird was hoping for some easy prey like a songbird or squirrel visiting a bird feeder.

"The image shows a red-shouldered hawk perched on a tree branch. The hawk is facing to the right, with its body turned slightly away from the camera, giving a clear view of its back and side. The bird's plumage is a mix of brown and white, with intricate patterns of lighter and darker feathers. The feathers on its back and wings are predominantly dark brown with white spots, while the tail feathers are banded with dark and light stripes. The hawk's eyes are sharp and piercing, with a yellowish hue around the pupils. Its beak is curved and sharp, designed for tearing flesh, and is dark in color with a yellow base. The legs and feet of the hawk are yellow, with strong, curved talons that are dark at the tips. The bird is perched on a branch covered in patches of lichen, with a background of blurred green foliage, indicating a natural habitat." - Copilot
