Over the last few days the number of these Hawks has increased in the swamps. This particular bird wanted this perch, which gave me time to capture him from a few angles.
Most of the time he looked around hunting. But he continued to glance back to be sure I didn’t get any closer.
Red-shoulders have been around in the area for a few weeks, they must be nesting nearby.

Hi, Thanks. There are at least 3 hunting along the far side of Ravenswood (the swamp).
