Even more jealous, since you have his "routine" down. I love the raptors.

Thanks again Heather! This guy is cool! He likes to hunt from this one specific tree, so I always see him. I try not to bother him every time I see him, even though I want to! lol!

What a great series! So nice to have not one but two resident hawks in your neighborhood. How lucky for you. Great photography. Love the colors.

Thank you! This is a very acrobatic male hawk that lives near my house with his mate. He always puts on a nice show for me, but I rarely get good pictures because of it!
