In this climate everything can get wet when we have a typical rain.
This Hawk was out in one of our down pours.
Now all he could do was try to dry out. Ignoring us was a problem too. He had a good spot to get dry, but those big ‘one eyed’ things down below wouldn’t go away.
He looks so tiny compared to most hawks, I don’t think I have seen one of these before.
One of the ‘mid-size’ Hawks. Smaller than a Coopers. The most common in the southeast, especially around swamps. In some places, notably the Everglades it is the only Hawk (except a stray now and then).
Great post 😁
Thank you. Usually see at least one when out in a swamp land.
When you click for a larger view you can see all the adorable details. The ruffled feathers and the beautiful pattern on the wings. Amazing!
This one wasn’t moving. Wet, not happy, and making a point of ignoring us. 😀
