Chicken Hawk
 

I am glad you got a good picture of it.We see them all the time here in south eastern KY.I did get a good pictue of a Golden Eagle last year.My awesome neighbor called me,she and I took some awesome picture of it.It is the only 1 I have seen in the wild not in cage in Tennessee.

I love birds of prey. Thank you for sharing your photo.

we are 2 pairs that are around alot,they are gorgeous to watch

He is a beaut, how about putting him in the center of a quilt?

We have a pair that live in the park across the street from our house, it is a magnifcent site to see them. Unfortunately they like my yard as we feed the birds so they like to come around to hunt. One of them took my mourning dove family right from their nest on my house. I still think they are beautiful.

my husband saw one at the park (in the city), while walking Tink in December. He/she was munching on something in his claw, probably a mouse or bird.
This is why we don't let Tink out in the yard without one of us with her...

Beautiful! I do miss seeing the hawks from my old home, but I am starting to see a few around here.

We have red tail hawks here in N. Florida and I see them circling high every once in a while. They are fun to watch. I keep an eye on my fat little dog when I see big birds of prey flying about. hehehehehe

Wow he gave you a treat for sure. They are so majestic
:):):)

I also feed the birds, and love watching them at my feeder.
I once watched a Kestrel swoop in and take a Finch. At first I was upset, but also realized that it was the "Laws of Nature" at work. I only saw it once, and that was enough, and I still feed the birds.
I live near a reservoir and can see the Hawks scouting for their next meal. However, my favorite sites have been the Bald Eagles out on the ice in the winter wondering how to "go fishing". Or the one I saw swoop down into the water in the summer and comeout with a fish in its talons.
Beautiful photos and beautiful birds.
