This morning, July 20, 2015 this beautiful hawk showed up in a tree in my front yard. He would stay for a while, fly away and come back. He would walk around my yard and call to the other hawk that was near by.

Location

It was the morning of July 20, 2015 when this young Red tail hawk landed in the tree in our front lawn. I heard it and grabbed my camera. I was standing under him and just started taking pictures. He walked around our lawn for a few minutes. There was another hawk but it didn't stay around. It was so cool that I had the opportunity to take pictures of this beautiful creature.
