Red-shouldered Hawk All Wet photo by Larry Jordan
I took this shot on a rainy, overcast day last week at Lema Ranch, one of the best birding spots in Redding. This Red-shouldered Hawk was looking for something to eat after a storm had just passed.
Get over to Skywatch Friday for some really good sky photos!

I don’t get to see these raptors too often, so its nice getting a close look at yours.

I don’t guess I’ve ever seen one of these. I love his fluffiness.
