Tell it to the Claw, an original Red-shouldered Hawk photograph created by Chris Scroggins in Baltimore County, Md. Copyright 2020.
…..
Vertical, small format image of a magnificent wild raptor ( Buteo lineatus ) perched silently in a tree behind my house, talon in the air, waiting patiently to catch prey. Its quite normal to see a hawk standing on one leg, it helps to prevent fatigue due to standing in one place for quite a while.
I began to see ( and hear!) this species of hawk in my neighborhood in 2017, and that year I even witnessed one catch and carry away a snake! Just this week I learned that it can be quite challenging for a hawk to master the art of hunting, and young hawks can have a very tough time surviving their first year or two after leaving the nest.
