Red-shouldered Hawks

 This day provided a close encounter with a pair of Red-shouldered Hawks.  My spouse spotted a hawk in a hidden position sitting high in a tree.  As we moved a bit we could get a much better look .  The following photos were shot as we watched the two pulling lichen from the tree.The larger male flew over from his spot in the tree to help.  We assume they were gathering nesting material. The two of them continued gathering for several minutes.  One apparently realized we were near and off he went and then the other flew away also.  Our day had been made because of this beautiful witness of nature. Blessings!
