That’s a stunner! I love how he is posing in the first image. Great capture, Elena!
WOW! That close-up shot is amazing!
Fantastic capture Elena . Nothing that eye will miss 😉
Wow, fantastic photos Elena!
Gorgeous shot of hawk. They are marvelous creatures, aren’t they?
So beautiful Elena. We’ve had a few in our yard over the last couple of months – I took several photographs and came out blurry. These shots are wonderful.
That’s a great shot! They are truly beautiful creatures!
So wonderful to see a living and feathered bird, after I saw so many people posting their thanks giving meal…
I love raptors and their plumage colors 🙂
Thank you Filandra! Tofurkey for me:) Your work always comes to mind when I think of beautiful birds!
Awww… that moves me 🙂 I have a bird heart with a huge need to fly, spiritually and philosphical…
I don’t eat meat for a long time now. My digestive system could never handle it but I needed to make the experience. Now I’m even vegan because my body told me to leave aside the other stuff too.
It was such an incredible release, I feel so clean 🙂
What a beautiful bird – the plumage is immaculate. But I wouldn’t like to be the target of that eye!
I know what you mean! Thanks Anna:)
‘What are you looking at?’
A super image.
Thanks Louis.
Great shots! Particularly that first one. Large birds are such a marvel of engineering!
That they are! Thank you Cindy!
How nice of camera hawk, dear Elena!
It’s very photogenic!
Have a wonderful weekend, dear Elena! 🙂
Thank you Stefania!
Positively psychotic looking and utterly ruthless. Beautiful bird, though and beautifully captured!
Thanks Richard!
Sweet shot, Elena! Very well done! 🙂
Thank you Stefano!:)
Ooooph…he looks totally intense!!
You’ve got it Shree!

Thank you Jacklyn!
Mistress of her domain, or master of his, but what a powerful sense of composure. Wonderful shot Elena!
That’s it exactly Patti! Composed always. Thanks Patti!
super bird and very efficient indeed. I sometimes see one in my garden but it’s very difficult to take a picture. When it swoops it’s terrifying . Bravo!
Thank you!
Hawks are one of my very favorite creatures, and this one of yours is a gorgeous bird. Yes, they are commanding presences! 🙂
Kathryn

Wow! Wish I could catch a shot like this. Amazing close up.
Thank you Allyson! Not too difficult to catch this guy-he seems to be lurking too often;)
Wow !
(Still, he (she ?) needs to feed cute chicks —– on next season 🙂 )
Indeed:)
Nice shots!
Thank you Nuno!
Looks like the look I had on my face as I was about to dig into Thanksgiving Dinner! Catching a meal is serious stuff!
