Raptors

Juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk in Flight
Island Ford, Chattahoochee NRA. Roswell, Georgia, USA; MAY 2024

Raptors, i.e. birds of prey, are always interesting to me. They present grace, beauty and power even though they can be intimidated by the smallest of birds chasing the raptor away from their nests.

Florida Scrub-Jay

Florida Scrub-jay
Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Titusville, Florida, USA; FEB 2024

I’ve seen several varieties of Scrub-jays. On our visit to Merritt Island, I had planned to search for some. We found this one on a pine tree on a sandy trail among pines and low, scrubby brush. It was very cooperative.

Royal Terns

Royal Tern
Everglades National Park, Florida, USA; MAR 2024

I love these birds. The long beaks, and white heads with the
“horseshoe” of black feathers around their head, they remind me of a bunch of
old men. It always brings a smile to my face and warms my heart.
