             ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Regal Red-Tailed Hawk peers from a high perch, gazing over the winter landscape in search of prey against a brilliant blue sky in the sunshine of a mid-February morning at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

This bird of prey is the most common hawk in North America.

Peaceful Perch ...

“Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.”

              ~ Rabindranath Tagore

                   ~ 1861 ~ 1941

A female tree swallow is peacefully perched upon the milkweed in early summer on a beautiful late June evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

While there are young or eggs in the nest, adult tree swallows frequently dive bomb intruders, including curious humans, and attempt to drive them from the area – I personally know this to be true, and so does my camera!
