Unexpected,
this encounter –
piercing golden eyes
a coat of mottled feathers,
a new visitor to our river –
not sure who is more startled.
(Smaller than the bald eagle, this bird of prey was perched riverside. Suspect it is a red-tailed hawk. For Granny Shot It’s Bird of the Day.)

He’s perched where the young eagle usually sits – that’s why I say he startled us both. Likely is saying “Do you mind?” while I was saying: “Hello, who are you?”

I love “unexpected” encounters with other species. I looked up Red tailed hawk range and their range covers most of North America from Canada to Mexico. I know they are very common down here.

They are common here too, and there are many variations. I hadn’t seen this particular one before, but that doesn’t mean much really. Thanks Betty. The river never fails to surprise me.
