A hawk showing off his colors. Riverbend Park, Jupiter, FL
Just waiting around... I saw this guy while hiking in the preserve next to my home. He didn't seem too concerned with me, probably because I was alive:) Since it doesn't have a red crest, this is a Black vulture. Vultures with red crests are Turkey vultures. .
I took this behind my home one evening just before sunset. The hawk is sitting above a small pond and just to my left is a squirrel in a tree. Hawks are known for their eyesight and he kept a keen eye on that squirrel.
