One sure sign of the change of seasons is a return of these awesome raptors – my favorite hawks. They are among the largest hawks and absolutely beautiful. Best of all, they are usually quite tolerant of people which makes for some cool photo opportunities. I came across this particular one on Sunday, unfortunately with some heavily overcast skies. Nevertheless, I look forward to seeing and photographing many more of them in the coming months.
