This is the third year I have seen a Red-shouldered Hawk sitting on a wire along a road a mile or two from home. I always look for it as I go to the store for meds or food. It appears that the hawks winter in this area, because I start to see them again in late fall and winter, even into spring. But I don't see many during the summer. I am glad this one or a relative returns to the same area yearly. It gives me something to look for. Anytime I get a nice photo of it posing for me (well, not really), I am happy.
