Sky Watch~Hawk Watch


This beautiful hawk was flying over our ranch, located in the mountains east of Albuquerque.
(Photo taken with my beloved camera, that was recently stolen.)

Beautiful photo of a red-tailed hawk! You can tell by the dark leading edge of the wings and that charecteristic red tail. So sorry to hear your camera was stolen! Ouch! Hope you can replace it soon!

Louise said...

Excellent capture of the hawk! I live on the other side of the mountain from you. Same sky, but less hawks to capture in a photo! The rare one we get is quite skittish and gone before I can even grab a camera. Hope you get a new one soon!

Thanks for visiting me and leaving a comment. I love comments. I read through some of your posts. I am a horse person wanna be. I rode with friends when I was young. Wish I could go out on a ride like you did. I even read through the political stuff. I will come back and go to more links. I am to tired to understand that stuff right now. lol Love the hawk...sorry about your camera. I keep wishing to win one over at the pioneer woman. Me an thousands of other people. I hate typing in those silly code words. thanks (o:

Beautiful!! Hopefully "Santa" will bring you a new camera... gosh hard to believe that's not too far away!!
Which reminds me, if you are okay with it I would really like your address so I can send a little something to you :)

Oh! And your pic reminded me of a funny story. I'll try to be brief.
When Kimfer & I were driving to our jackpot on Sunday she saw a bird in a tree. "Is that an eagle?" she asked.
I took a quick look and replied "Yeah, isn't he beautiful!"
Kimfer then said "I didn't know we had eagles around here!!"
I couldn't resist, I said "Yeeeah. Why do you think Eagle Creek is named Eagle Creek?" lol

GORGEOUS photograph of a red-tailed hawk! I love raptors! well, this is just a stunning shot.

Incidently, I posted my comment on Frozen Moments Sky Watch before reading your comment, and what we said was almost identical...I had also noticed you earlier when I was visiting another site where the blogger posts a lot about the political atmosphere right now, etc and I saw that you had commented similar to my own feelings....apparently we have some things in common! :-) Love your blog, and thanks for a great Skywatch photo!

What a great shot. I can not seem to be able to get birds in flight and a sky shot in the same frame. Loved it.

Gail said...

I have never had the volume on before. I love your choice of music. May the person who stole your camera trip on it and get a big owwwie!

We have a lot of hawks around here, but I have never had luck capturing a good photo....not yet anyway.
