Paul Brewer always takes his camera with him when he travels coastal roads, thank goodness. This day he headed north and found a Red-shouldered Hawk on Lighthouse Road, north of Point Arena. The meadows there attract hunting hawks.
Paul pointed out the hawk has a band on its right leg. Wish we could see numbers but no such luck.
I love the call of these forest hawks. You can hear it at this link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-shouldered_Hawk/sounds
Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share his photos with you here. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is the link to his website: https://paulbrewer.smugmug.com/
It started off cool and sunny but some clouds began streaming in this afternoon. That makes for a beautiful sky!
