The Hawk

I haven't been taking many pictures of birds lately. I hope to get more use out of my camera now that DA is doing much better and his doc appointments are becoming fewer. So, I can't take credit for my bird post today. Well, in a round about way maybe I can. These pictures are courtesy of my son, who seems to have inherited my love for picture taking. He is a natural in the way he frames his shots. My only advice was to remove the date stamp. Proud mom here.

I'm hoping someone can identify this guy. He lives in Napa Valley. I've been through my bird book, but can't decide.

    Beautiful series of pictures, the second picture is my favorite.
    It is a species of falcon, perhaps the kestrel.
    Best regards, Irma

    Hi betty. Well I'm a long way off but from here that looks like a juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk Buteo lineatus. Great pics.

    Red-Shouldered Hawk for sure, and the name that my blog was derived from some 8 years ago this June. WOW very close up and beautiful share~
