A hawk in the gardens
A hawk in the gardens
It is good to always be observant and looking around when going for a walk, take these shots, for example, I was heading out into the gardens to get some shots of Roses, but was also observant of things going on around me and noticed a lady up on the upper level leaning over to get some photos and I looked to see what she was taking photos of.
This is a post for #featheredfriday hosted by @keithboone, and I believe being run at the moment by @melinda010100.
I know its a day early but going with it today anyway LOL

As you can see in the first shot it was a Hawk sitting on a Lamp in the gardens, Here is a closer in shot of the Hawk, which Someoen told ie is most likely a Red Tailed Hawk.

I was lucky to see it when I got back up to my office after taking these shots I told a colleague who went down to see it and by the time he got downstairs, it was gone.
I think it may have flown through a storm or something as it was looking a little rough when I first saw it which you may notice a little in the previous shot, and it was focusing on preening itself up as it is in this next shot

Great captures! My dog was barking outside and when I went to investigate she was “talking” to a pair of hawks that were on our roof and I watched as they each flew over to a neighbor’s tree. I think they are magnificent birds and I hope they eat all of the rats in our neighborhood. I also hope they have a nest nearby!

They sure are magnificent birds a couple have said this one was very young, which perhaps got lost once out of the next, which kind of makes sense as I have never seen one in the city before i hope it made its way safely somewhere
How coo your dog alerted you to some ear you, would be cool if they Estes close by and you saw them often

Want to have your post on the map too?
You really managed to capture him perfectly and yes it sure is a spectacular looking bird. They are one of my all time favorites!
Some have said it is most likely a very young one which got lost which kind of makes sense as I don’t think I have ever seen one n the city before
Well, it is still nice that you got a chance to photograph him.
Ohh yes it sure was ;)
Wow, what a beauty, I really like the last 2 shots, probably my favorites overall. The soft background really makes the bird pop and so many fine details. Good eye for spotting that from your office! Watching like a Hawk paid off!!
LOL Watching like a Hawk, Not really i just needed a break from sitting a my desk and went for a stroll inthe gardens and happened upon it, I was lucky it left very soon after I took these shots
nice bird

Thanks it was a cool surprise to see it
Beautiful bird indeed. I'm guessing you don't see a lot of hawks in N.Y.?
Hope he gets turned around and finds his flock but glad he dropped in for your photo shoot!
Probably out of the city they are a common site but I rarely see them in Manhattan
Love birds of prey; great photos!
Me to and I seldom ever get photos of them so this was a cool surprise
That's special! In South Africa we would see them often but I don't think there are any on this island

They are seldom seen int he city in more remote areas there are plenty of them
