It was pouring rain all day when we saw this Red Tailed Hawk perched up in the tree. He must be hungry. He had a perfect view of our bird feeders and, I’m sure, was hoping for a nice, tasty lunch.

He waited a long time and then flew away, empty-taloned. I took this photograph through the glass when it was pouring rain, but it seemed to come out OK, other than he looks pretty drenched.

Beautiful bird, don’t you think?
