Red-tailed Hawk
What do u call a police officer that works in bed?
A undercover cop.
Interesting Fact: Courting Red-tailed Hawks put on a display in which they soar in wide circles at a great height. The male dives steeply, then shoots up again at an angle nearly as steep. After several of these swoops he approaches the female from above, extends his legs, and touches her briefly. Sometimes, the pair grab onto one other, clasp talons, and plummet in spirals toward the ground before pulling away. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-tailed_Hawk/lifehistory )

Thank you so much for the “like” and I agree, this is a great shot, it reminded me of watching the Red-Tailed hawks lazily flying in the sky while on my grandmother’s deck up country (Vernon, British Columbia) and while on a ferry heading to Vancouver Island, British Columbia, I was lucky enough to see two majestic Bald eagles engaging in this courting behavior, these memories are from a few years ago but have stayed with me, beautiful moments from nature, never forgotten.
Thank you very much, those are some great memories, I am so happy that my work was able to bring you back to that wonderful sight. I appreciate you stopping by and sharing this wonderful experience with us. Thank you again and Happy Blogging! 🙂
