Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis)

Mary said...: Kyle, did you take that shot on the shoulder of the road? I'd stop every day if NC had shoulders to slide into!

Beautiful photo.

Kyle said...: Thanks, Mary.

Actually, this was at the edge of a new neighborhood next to a small forested area near my office. I saw him as I passed on my way to lunch, did a quick u-turn and crept as close in the truck as I could get without spooking him.; December 29, 2010 at 9:23 PM
KaHolly said...: Great shot, Kyle. Thanks for visiting my blog. I don't know how you found me, but I'm awfully glad you did! ~karen; December 30, 2010 at 10:08 AM
Kyle said...: Thanks, Karen. Actually, I think I spotted a link to your "Texas Insects" post in a comment you left on Wren's blog. Anything Texas always interests me, so I clicked over and really enjoyed what I saw. Added your page to my blog list so I can see even more. :-); December 30, 2010 at 10:28 AM
KaHolly said...: Thanks, Kyle. I've added you to my follow list! I have a few posts from my visit to TX last Christmas, too, if you care to check them out one day when you aren't real busy. Happy New Year! ~karen; December 31, 2010 at 8:33 AM
