Red-shouldered Hawk All Wet For Skywatch Friday

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. 🙂
