Day 18.344: Red-shouldered hawk

This morning, our nature group had a great visit to the University of New England campus in Biddeford. I’ll share about that another time.

Later in the day, as we were counting birds in our backyard for Project FeederWatch, a large bird came and perched just a few feet into the woods behind the feeders. I was able to get some photos and identify it (with some assistance to confirm from the aforementioned nature group experts) as an immature red-shouldered hawk.

Considering his options 

Preparing to leave

And away he goes
