Beautiful fellow! We have a family of them in our neighborhood. We had to be careful when we brought home our last puppy because the hawks circled when we had her outside. The hawks stay nearby to be close to their food source at our neighbor's home. The neighbor feeds pigeons so the food source for the hawks is endless. ;) It is not usual to see pigeons in our neighborhood so I'm sure our neighborhood is feeding them something they really like.
Retirement next year will be fun just sitting in the back yard and watching Mother Nature's creatures. ;)
Hi Kelly! He's a beautiful little guy! ...thankfully no snow here in south Sweden, but it's not really spring yet either. We are kinda in the middle. But it's going to get warmer any day now and then nature will awake. Greetings from Sweden! :)
Lovely shots, Kelly! Our snow is melting fast, but we are still getting a few snowy days. No flowers or green leaves yet, but hundreds of geese and swans have made their way north, so spring is on its way.
I think I'd agree with Big Red on the annoyance of snow in April! Time for winter to move on and let spring come out to play. Hope this is the last of it!
I hand hold the camera for all my photos (I used to use a monopod or tripod for distance and macro, but the VR lenses don't seem to require it). I crop the images down in Aperture (I'm a Mac).
The Story Behind "Red and the Peanut"
Red and the Peanut is named after my first bird memory. When I was about six, I was at my Great Aunt Mary's house and she was telling me about Red and the peanut. "Red" was a Northern Cardinal that had trained Aunt Mary to feed it peanuts on demand. Since Aunt Mary's "Red" started it all, what better name could I choose?

We're used to snows this time of year up here, but yes--it still gets "old".
I'm sure yours is just a temporary delay.
Happy Spring!

Great shot of the Hawk Kelly. No Snow here and not likely now.
Is it usual for snow in Mason at this time.
Hi Kelly! Great shots of the Hawk. We had snow here recently too. It's 45 today, but the wind's blowing, which makes it feel much colder.
Magnificent Hawk images, Kelly, you are a genius.
Gorgeous photos, Kelly!
