What a lovely visit!
There I am, sitting and reading about "birding", when out of blue sky comes this Red-shouldered Hawk.
At first I thought he landed to investigate his next meal but then figured that he/she was hot and needed a break.
Soon, it started to move and I knew that he was getting close to take off....
and sure enough....there it went.
So, I settle back down again, this time reviewing my pics in the camera and poof - he re-appears but now it's right in front of my room. I'm glad that I have this anti reflective film on my window - this way he can feel at ease and take his time doing whatever he was intending to do.....
Which turned out to be a foot bath. Funny, he must have seen me earlier when I was watering my potted plants....looks like I will be putting more water in that basin so that he could take a body bath too.
Also interesting how the statue's hand seems to be resting on his head...I think he likes her.
Good exposure in difficult light.
