Err, maybe that should be hawk on a trellis?

I was in the middle of getting dressed (TMI, ha ha) the other day and glanced out the window. What did I see? This gorgeous red-shouldered hawk hanging out on the trellis.

So, I grabbed my camera and ran out onto the deck to take some pictures. I may or may not have had time to put on pants (now that’s really TMI). Thankfully our deck is relatively secluded.

Check out the gorgeous colors. It’s like the hawk and Mother Nature coordinated a fall photo shoot!

Red-shouldered hawks live in Ohio year-round. From what I’ve read about these hawks, they aren’t as common as they used to be. This is mainly due to deforestation.

    I love it! I usually only see Cooper’s Hawks anymore, so I’m glad these are still around! Definitely worth running out pantsless to get these photos!

      I agree – right place, right time. Who needs pants to take pics?? 🙂
