Red-Tailed Hawk

While walking a nature trail this beautiful Hawk swooped in just ahead of me.

I absolutely love Birds of Prey and watch them carefully when I am fortunate enough to encounter them.

This Hawk was a bit chatty after landing and looking around carefully. Their chirps are adorable and sound like they are sad and crying.

We spent about two minutes together before he continued deep into the woods, far away from my nature trails. Such beauty.
