Hawk With Bird From Bird Feeder - Photograph

I took that photograph through my house window this past week, so it isn't the best quality.

I was inside resting my aching muscles, after having just completed the storm clean up efforts, when I heard one of my wind chimes sound. There wasn't any wind, so I wondered why they sounded. I looked out and saw this raptor on the ground. When I took the photograph, I didn't know it was holding a bird it had caught, one that was most likely at my bird feeder, which one set of wind chimes is near. If you look closely on the lower right hand side of the Hawk's wing, you can see the wing of the bird it caught.

I took those photographs at Putnam Memorial State Park in Redding, CT this past week.

That raptor landed on the swing set in the park. I think it is a Red-tailed Hawk, but I'm not certain. If anyone can provide an identification, I will appreciate it. (Note: the swings had been removed from the swing set, due to covid-19 precautions taken by the State of Connecticut.)

Hawk in Tree - Photograph

This is my first photograph of a Hawk. I almost didn't see him! I was about to get into my car when I noticed something high up in a tree. Unfortunately he's obscured by tree branches.

This month’s Soartful challenge was "Curiosity" or the colors "Rust and Turquoise."

I went with the color theme.

All of the images are from an Internet search.

The font is Pericles.

When daylight arrives, I'll take and post some photographs of the snow in my yard. It's going to take me awhile to dig out. And, "Gov. Dannel Malloy ordered all roads closed in Connecticut until further notice..."
