Hawk & friend

Red Shouldered Hawk
Sunset Blvd. ~ Cape May, NJ

We discovered this gorgeous hawk sitting on top of someone's home along Sunset Blvd.
Lousy weather, but we just had to pull over and shoot this beauty.
This hawk put on quite a show for us, all the while keeping a keen eye on our every move.
Red Shouldered Hawks are not as common in my area as Red Tail Hawks ~ so a very special discovery for us!
