So, a funny thing happened while my son was mowing the yard....
A hawk, which may be a red-tail hawk, buzzed him....
My son just felt a blast of wind to look up and have this hawk flying over his head. My son said if he had reached up, he could have touched the wings.
GLAD HE DIDN'T TRY!
I joined him and got pictures of the bird in the tree by our house.
Don't let the scale fool you...
This bird was big.
He was up about 40 feet (12 meters) in the tree.
What's so weird is that this is the third time I've personally seen this bird
(or another in this family) in our yard.
We DON'T live in the country. That's what makes it so odd.
The first time, I pulled up the driveway to come eye to eye with the hawk, eating a morning dove. We just stared at each other and he took his prey while I watched him fly off, over my car. His wing span was about 4 feet. (1.2 meters)
Why he decided to buzz my son? No clue. Just happy he kept his talons to himself!!

Now this is cool. Notice there are 3 hawks in this last picture?
I think it's the mom, dad and their younger hawk with them!
So much for WORDLESS!!

Hawks are beautiful raptors. Such keen sense of sight and smell. Incredible bird.
ReplyDeleteWell, my son is 13, maybe he smelled like prey but the hawk thought better of it with the lawn mower running! Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteWhat an awesome encounter. Glad your son is o.k. and you got such gorgeous pictures. I love the third one from the bottom, the backlit feathers - beautiful
ReplyDeleteHis heart was racing! I think he will enjoy telling the story over the years! And we have pictures to prove it!
DeleteWonderful photos, I like to catch this beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteThank you Leovi! It was beautiful! I love your art for this week! Your work amazes me!
DeleteWow, that is amazing!! Love that shot!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeleteThat is so neat and it's cool that your son wanted to get a picture of it. My kids usually roll their eyes when my camera is around, but yesterday my son told me to grab my camera and take a picture of our cat, Prince, watching a Peahen that was right next to him in our front garden. I missed the best photo looking for my camera, but I still got a good shot of the two of them. :)
ReplyDeleteGood captures Mary :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a hawktastic week ;-)

ReplyDeleteYou do a fine job of capturing the best in photos, the hawk is awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by today!!! Wishing you a great day!!
That's crazy, isn't it?? My husband had one on his mail route right in the city too. He told me about it and one day when we drove up to see him for lunch, we saw it. It was huge!
ReplyDeleteEvery time my son sees 2 animals together he says that its mom, dad and baby too! Amazing capture as always =) #ww
