Red-shouldered Hawk

Red-shouldered Hawk

This hawk was watching the vernal pool near the highway.  A male Mallard Duck was swimming on the pool.  I tend to think that it was looking for frogs not the duck.  The Audubon Field Guide says that it inhabits lowland areas of which this is one.  I might have wished for just a little more light on the head but it was an unusual opportunity for me to shoot it.

Of course, my movement to try to improve the view, eventually caused it to fly.  It remained in the area just circling over head for a while.  It might be hunting to feed the young by this time in the season.  I don't know where its nest is located.
