The Sky’s the Limit for This Birder

This red-tailed hawk appeared after dinner tonight.
He perched over the brook for a while, then flew to a perch by my side door.
It was so humid my lens kept fogging up, but he stayed long enough for me to get a lens tissue to clean it off.
At one point, he was perched on the crossbar I put up for the screech owls. A photographer on the path must have gotten some great shots.
As I write this, the red-tail is still in my side yard, hunting, about 20 feet from the door. I want to take more photos, but I figure he must be hungry.
Better let the poor guy try to hunt up some dinner.
Here’s an assortment of photos:
