ABC Wednesday,

My Corner of the World
B is for
Buteo jamaicensis - Red-tailed Hawk

| Buteo jamaicensis, Red-tailed Hawk, Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, January 13, 2019 |
I was very surprised to find him (or her) sitting on a fence post close to the road! As you can guess from its ruffled feathers, there was a strong wind blowing. As an interesting side-note, in Europe Hawks and other birds of the
Buteo group are called Buzzards (another B for ABC Wednesday), but Buzzards here in the United States are Vultures.
Have a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteHandsome!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bird and a wonderful photo!
ReplyDeleteI grew up knowing them as buzzards so it's still difficult for me to think otherwise. They are handsome creatures, maybe the whiteness of their heads aren't as much as their cousins the eagles,that's okay with me.
ReplyDeleteNice shot. I have plenty of buzzard pictures and very few hawks.
ReplyDeleteWow, awesome capture of the hawk! Happy Thursday, enjoy your day and the weekend ahead.
