The Red Shouldered Hawks in those pics all seem a little different from each other. I wish I could have gotten a closer shot, but I was limited with my camera. I was walking through a clear field toward him, and I probably got within 60 feet before he flew away. The crows baffled me too. There were probably five crows on the edges of the tree, and the hawk was in the middle.<br /><br />L.A., yeah, that house has been there a long time. Its original location was further down 450 toward Bowie across from the old turf farm (across from where they have a Safeway and Golds Gym), and we heard that it was supposed to be put on the site of the Marietta Mansion, which is <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=bowie,+md&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=49.223579,79.013672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Bowie,+Prince+George%27s,+Maryland&ll=38.964331,-76.797073&spn=0.011896,0.027466&z=16" rel="nofollow">pretty close by</a>.

That is p...I see the man in the pigeon's neck.<br /><br />That is probably a Sharp Shinned Hawk, although it could also be a Red Sholdered Hawk. I'm surprised the crows tolerated him in the tree with them. Their normal behavior would be to mob him and drive him away. My crows routinely do that to the local hawk in my neighborhood.<br /><br />Good photos!Bob Parkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346024287164216473noreply@blogger.com
