Rain Hawk

Andy | Saturday, July 20, 2013 | Best Blogger Tips

Yesterday evening heavy rain and strong winds past through my area. The most interesting thing I spotted during the storm was this hawk sitting on the fence in my backyard. Take a close look at her claws and you will see what is left of a squirrel that was her catch of the day.

After demolishing the meal it's rest time. She is not one bit concerned of about the weather around her.

A little stretching exercise.

This was the last I saw of her before she took off.

    These are incredible shots, Andy. Kudos to you. I'm envious, 'cause I've never been able to get such shots of a hawk!

    Oh, Andy! These are such great shots! Not only are her eyes drilling into your lens but you've caught the raindrops on her beak and the tips of her feathers. What an exciting series! Lucky you!

    Excellent captures, Andy. You caught it all.. the meal - the weather - the wing stretch and the water droplets. Beautiful!

    Wonderful capture Andy.
    You caught the power and intense look in his eye. I love the way the rain dampened him.
