High in the trees on a bleak, overcast day, this Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus) was keeping watch over Huntley Meadows Park last Friday. As I was getting ready to post this image, I realized that I photographed a hawk on exactly the same perch a little over a month earlier. I decided to reprise that earlier photo to show you how much the foliage has changed. I suspect, however) that it is not the same hawk.

I like the juxtaposition of the two seasons in this one branch, and of course the raptors are so stately. Terrific photos, Mike.
