Cruising gravel back roads between meadows and fields of five-foot-tall corn provides several photo opportunities for the patient driver. This juvenile red-tailed hawk has learned to hunt along the roads where rodents must expose themselves as they scurry between meadows and fields. Intent on searching for prey, it ignored our presence.
Our area fosters abundant hedge honeysuckle, which fruits bright red berries eaten by a variety of birds, including robins and cedar waxwings. This waxwing perched in a hemlock long enough for the camera to capture its striking black mask, delicate colors, and yellow tail border before it joined others snatching honeysuckle berries from a nearby bush.
