Below is a Red-Tailed Hawk that was in an apple tree in Wagner’s orchard nextdoor. The first two photos were taken this morning, and remaining photos where taken this evening after sunset. The mud had dried a little in the evening, so I walked across the field to get closer photos. The hawk flew which allowed me to get backlit photos of it flying.

Beautiful scenes from you bosque at sunset. The moon is outstanding, too. Quite a selection tonight!
Thanks, Lavinia. Lots of birds out today, and nice sunsets with the thin clouds and contrails.
Wow, beautiful sky tonight! Love love love the tree photo! The hawk photos are cool too. It’s actually a pretty bird.
Hi Robin. Red-Tailed hawks are large, beautiful birds. Very majestic like Eagles. Your tree looks great from different angles.
I’m learning that about your hawks. 🙂
May I print my tree photo?
I sent you an email.
Got it. Thank you so much! It’s gorgeous!
Enjoy!
Spectacular captures tonight, wild birds and wild skies!
Hi Leah. It’s a “Wild Wild Life” out here. Have you seen David Byrne’s “True Stories” movie? Here’s the “Wild Wild Life” scene from the movie: https://youtu.be/616-QGQyx-I.
I have not seen that movie! I did check out the video today, hmmm, interesting! I’ll suggest it for our watch list, although the hubs prefers mystery and crime movies.
True Stories holds some interesting history now, since it was on the eve of cyberdom. It’s a bit weird, but makes great commentary on art, architecture, fashion, small town development and people.
All reminders of why New Mexico is called Land of Enchantment. 🙂
We do live in the land of enchantment. Thanks, Susan.
Sunset & Hawk, both amazing!
Thanks, Inchcock.
That sky! That moon! That hawk! And those Birds!
Thanks, Nancy.
All The photos are so beautiful! The third one of the birds at sunset is my favorite . Thank you Tim, for sharing the natural beauty that surrounds us.
Thanks, Juanita.
Incredible photos, I love the red tail hawk, one of my favorite raptors!
Thanks, Tiffany. Red-Tailed hawks are really beautiful.
Ciao Timothy sempre belle foto 😉
Grazie, Simona.
OMG!
My tree is spectacular!
I’ll need to use it in the post after PBH and Mersin fight.
However, the new Art Gown is done, so it will be the post after.
Fab post full of energy, and great pics!
Thanks, Resa. I’ll get the tree photo to you.
Great shots, Tim. Sometimes not full moons are better looking.
You can often get better detail on a quarter moon. Thank, Teri.
Super sky colours Tim … wonderful shots 🙂
Thanks, Julie. Can you see White Island Volcano from your beach?
No we can’t Tim .. we are on the West Coast. So sad to hear of the eruption ..
Apparently it was not expected. It is really sad.
It is so very sad Tim …
