Wednesday, February 25th, 2026 at 4:54:18 PM · 2026/Hawk
A red-shouldered hawk sits regally on a horizontal dead branch, its body facing away while its head is turned to profile. The raptor's rich rufous-brown breast and shoulders are prominent, complemented by the characteristic black and white barred wing pattern visible on its folded wings. The bird's hooked beak and alert posture suggest it's scanning for prey. The setting is a sparse winter woodland with bare branches and out-of-focus evergreen trees in the background, creating a natural frame around the subject.
