This is our most recent Red-shouldered Hawk photo. We walk two to three times a week at the John Heinz Wildlife Refuge trying to get photos just like this. The funny thing is we took this photo right out our kitchen window. There’s a tree in our neighbor’s yard that hawks use constantly for surveying the area. Usually they are Cooper’s Hawks or Red-tailed Hawks. This is the first time we’ve ever seen a Red-shouldered Hawk in that tree, and we’ve lived here a long time.
Just in case you might be interested, we recently included this photograph in two of our newest calendars that we have for purchase. The wall calendar is located at our store in Zazzle. Our desk calendar is located in our store at Createphotocalendars. We also have a photograph of this same bird for sale at our Pictorem store.
