Florida Hawks


Florida Hawks are an incredible part of this locales wildlife. For years we saw very few and then just this year a huge nest appeared in one of our grandfather Oak trees.

Within a few months, babies appeared and now they are zooming all over the area but call our backyard home. Many days you see the young sitting on the pool screens, or carrying off some live critter for lunch. Once they learn to fly they become preditors for mice, rats and snakes...which is alright with me.

The wallpaper picture is either Mom or Dad hawk sitting atop a dead tree about 35 feet in the air. I was taking pictures of it with a Canon EOS Rebel and a zoom from below and after a few clicks it started to stare me down. He/she sat for nearly 20 minutes while I clicked off 30-40 pictures...this bird loved to pose. Look for the best picture to be posted in the photography for sale section soon.
