I’ve been trying to work on the Red-shouldered Hawk photos in the order in which I see them. One of my few methods of organizing my photographs.
They’re not making it easy though. This dead tree over the swamp seems to be the perch of choice…by far. They sit there so often even I’m getting confused, and I took the shots 😵💫.
Finally the last time I saw one was not right in the swamp, but on the edge 😆. Those will be published in the next day or so and maybe I can start the New Year with the hawks in some other kind of order.


Red-shouldered Hawk, Magnolia Plantation Swamp, Charleston, South Carolina.
What a nice bird. Love it when they cooperate.
Might have something to do with all the small edible critters that wander just below.
