FRISKY HAWKS

A series of photos taken through my kitchen window.
This meeting between a male and female hawk lasted about 5 minutes altogether.
The female hawk was hunting in my backyard, so I grabbed the camera and started to take photos.
She looked up and suddenly a male hawk landed. Things got hot and heavy for a minute.
Afterward, they posed side by side for me and then the male left.
She kept on hunting.

I love this gallery!!! And to think they came to you to play the birds and the bees. Each image is a treat of Nature! If you hadn't mentioned the photos were taken through a window, I would have never guessed it. Very nice work with good colors and detail. Plus a subject that not everyone gets to see!
