Cool close encounter
Red Shouldered Hawk on my 2nd floor balcony maybe 6ft away - - lookin' straight at me through open window 🫪
…perhaps thought was an easy, tasty catch

Very cool. Iget to see hawks fairly regularly and eagles around 10-12 times a year. The birds of prey are awesome.

Surprisingly, 'Raptor' wasn't spooked by my close presence and didn't fly away for several minutes...

Maybe he wanted your cat to come out and play?

This majestic red tail was sitting on my fence a year ago. Wasn't six feet away though! Beautiful birds!

We have a hawk that comes around every few days.

There were 3 of them slowly circling over the neighborhood...

Some good pix!

Although not a hawk, but I got this shot back in 2014 from the view point on the 74 as you drop into the south side of the Palm Springs area.

With this guy around...no signs of squirrel or cat play near-by

There was a living rabbit a few minutes before I captured this photo:
