This hawk has been staying close to its nest lately and it looks to be guarding its contents. Sometime both parents a present, but today this is the one who stood up when I stopped to take the picture.
I thought it interesting how long the legs are on this hawk. I guess it got excited when I stopped by for a picture. Also notice the beautiful marking and color to this bird.
God did a wonderful job on the coloration. Just thought you might enjoy a little nature scene from the area. John Tucker
