I was at AD Barnes Park at noon today, giving my new camera and lens a workout, and chased a raptor that briefly soared by- he eventually revealed his whereabouts as he dined on a red bellied woodpecker. Having had the good fortune of photographing a perched black and chestnut eagle in Peru, litertally within 5 minutes of my asking the guide to arrange for the creature to appear, I have come to expect raptors to pose for me..Not! Brian Rapoza confirmed my identification of a dark morph short tailed hawk--blame him if the identification is wrong... https://www.flickr.com/photos/joelnrosenthal/23167794953/in/dateposted-public/ more pictures of this bird on my photostream--scroll down a few pictures to get to the series.. https://www.flickr.com/photos/joelnrosenthal/ happy holidays to all
