A wonderful Hawk experience saturday

[johnnyblaze]

I was detecting in the woods and here comes this hawk lands right above me 10 feet in a tree

He was really interested in what i was doing..I stood on the rock wall and he was about 5 feet up from me...He was not scared of me

I was talking to him in a soft voice and he was turning his head listening to me
Just like my dog

It was a great experience

I love it when just for a moment you can connect with nature. It always makes you feel good. Moments like that are special to me

Good pics of the Hawk. I doubt he is afraid of much being as high on the food chain as he is in his world.

Birds are a lot smarter than given credit for.

Great pics! Looks like a red tailed hawk or a juvenile red shouldered hawk. (?) Gorgeous face, and I love the way it was bending it's head!
Very intelligent animal!

Use to have one swoop down on the chickens and take off with one of the smaller ones.

Awesome Pics !! Thanks for Sharing.

Johnnyb, I love Hawks, well all animals.
I watched a red-tailed hawk, in my backyard, dance with a snake he was trying to eat.
He was sitting atop a 35 ft palm tree stump,(top got blowed off in hurricane), had snake in one foot, it just a writhing around, hawk a dancing, trying to get snake, just right. I just laughed and laughed, as he shredded that snake. (I hoped it wasn't one of my rat snakes)
