Description
There were a lot of red-tailed hawks out this day. Found at least three different ones perched and, I assume, looking for a meal. Street lights seem to be a favorite place to perched.

Nice capture Edward. I think one could spend the day birding using just birds landing on the high line wires. I looked up Red-tailed Hawk and had a note that some, but not all migrate away from the breeding ground, and that they winter in the central USA. This past fall we were in the Texas valley (southern most tip) and they had a park that was noted for the migrating hawks. My plan is to "one day" learn the hawks. Recognize them in flight sort of thing. Some fly with a "flap and glide", some glide around on the wind, and some fly in between trees at the edge of the woods chasing songbirds. I would have to start over in my study cause now I have forgotten which does what. LOL

We seem to have a lot of hawks this year. What I like is watching the song birds go after the hawks. A lot of neat flying.
