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.
