Saw this bird near World’s End in Hingham. Possibly a red tailed hawk? #birds #birding #RedTailedHawk

I like this picture of a red-tailed hawk circling above.
Master of the Air
I was sitting with my wife on the front porch of her quaint little quilting shop. We have a couple of old redwood rocking chairs, perfect for soaking in the serenity of the neighborhood. Ben and Charlie, our loyal companions, were sprawled out on the porch, lazily watching the world go by.
As I fiddled with my phone, adding a caption to a photo I had just taken of some clouds, two red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) suddenly appeared, gliding gracefully right in front of us. In my excitement, I fumbled with my phone and frantically reached for my camera. I managed to snap just one photo, which would’ve been perfect if the right wing hadn’t been cut off. I did get a couple more shots, but by then, the hawks were flying away—and it just wasn’t the same.

He was pretty chill.
But he definitely spotted me...
We had a surprising clear skies sunny day today, which was unexpected, and I was already outside with my camera, so that was a great coincidence. On top of that I saw many bird species for the first time!
