Basking in the evening sun, a Cooper’s Hawk peers from a high perch, gazing over the spring landscape in search of prey as sunset beckons in early April at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

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.

I love nature, but it can be cruel, such as in seeing this red-tailed hawk and its prey – a squirrel – on a mid-November evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
I was lucky enough to capture several shots of the hawk as it guarded its prey – though I felt so sorry for the squirrel!

I love nature, but it can be cruel, such as in seeing this red-tailed hawk and its prey – a squirrel – on an early September evening in the waning summer at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
I was lucky enough to capture several shots of the hawk as it had its supper – though I felt so sorry for the squirrel! This was the last photo I snapped, the only one where the hawk looked up and straight at me, as if to say don’t come near my prey!
