RED TAILED HAWK IN REHAB

At the Alpine Zoo - I photographed this beautiful hawk.  There were four in the enclosure and this one seemed to be the one that wasn't content to remain caged.  He was causing a ruckus but the others were fine.    He was up high and "talking" real loud.  As far as I could translate - he was saying he wanted the heck out of there.


I took several poses - mainly because my sister once drew a beautiful drawing with colored pencil of a hawk and it makes me want to try it.  I might do it on black foam board - and if I like it - then I'll try it on white paper - a different pose.  That will be my project for today and tomorrow.

Oh, the poor beautiful hawk, I bet that is just what he was saying.
They are incredibly beautiful creatures.

Beautiful bird and I always feel so sorry for the wounded ones that have to live in a rehab place. They must miss the ability to soar through the air freely very much.
