Caution! Some people might find raptors staring at them a bit unnerving!

And my favorite Buteo, the Red-shouldered Hawk. I know this isn’t the best photograph but this bird was flying right at me as I was looking through the lens so I clicked away and got only this one interesting shot. You can sure see his red shoulders though 😉

Fantastic collection of all those raptors. I’m glad that they are not any bigger to really threaten people!
Wow! I am blown away by the magic of your raptor shots. Although I love them all, particularly the owls, the juvenile bald eagle is spectacular and the osprey staring down the barrel at you the scariest.
Really great collection.
wow, all pics are equally stunning!
Wow – what a great set of pictures – they really do have “the look” – am glad I not small and mouseish – otherwise it could be the last thing I’d see!
Cheers SM
love ’em all! there’s that favorite red-shoulder you mentioned on my blog the other day! 🙂
Great collection! I love especially the owls. They my favourite birds:)
Great series Larry. Boom & gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
A fantastic series of images….that Osprey pic is a beauty….thanks for sharing.
Larry, what a great collection of raptors. The owls are my favorite.
WOW…what fantastic shots and those EYES!!
I always know there’s something special in store when I click on your blog Larry, but this post is really special. A great group of shots. The Red shouldered hawk straight on is breathtaking!
Fantastic raptor series, Larry. Those eyes are mesmerizing, particularly the Osprey’s. Does the Red-tailed Hawk have a full crop?
Have to say that Red-shouldered Hawk shot is amazing! Raptors are so cool!
So many wonderful photos of the raptors, it must have been amazing to see them in real!
Excellent photos!
Great shots. Spooky enough for Halloween!
