So nice to see the raptors back home again!
Here is a Red Tail Hawk who cruised right overhead.

Nice shot Judi! lucky you.. I've been chasing two of them for weeks now, but I only see them when I'm on the train heading home.
Has anyone else seen two redtail hawks near Flushing, Bayside or Douglaston?

I get to watch these awesome guys from my office window at work.

Nice shot

Thanks Premo and Blitz

Good luck tracking them down Premo, and enjoy watching them from the train in the meantime, such stunning creatures!

Blitz, lucky! what a wonderful view!

Judy, you nailed it. Great picture. The exposure is just dead on.

I have been attempting to get a good capture of a red tail for some time as well. Usually they are perched too high for me to get a good photo. I did get a towhee shot today which I had been trying for for a while now but it's not the best due to errant branches between it and I. Nice capture and good timing.
