Well, it seems like we must be on friendly terms by now. For the last couple years, I have seen a Red-shouldered Hawk on power lines alongside a road about a mile from home. It is there mostly during fall and winter months here in Oregon. I don't see them during the summer months, but that doesn't necessarily mean they aren't here.

This little fellow seemed comfortable having me nearby, but I was shooting from my car so i wouldn't alarm it. We should always be considerate of giving wildlife their comfort zone, just as we ought to do with fellow humans.
