For some, raptors and flowers may seem like an incongruous combination but I like the contradiction.<\/p>\n

The background may be a little cluttered but I\u00a0have\u00a0an unobstructed\u00a0look at the hawk as it lifted off which is unusual in a setting like this.<\/p>\n

This is actually the attacking hawk from my post of two days ago – Fighting Red-tailed Hawks<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0Immediately following that aerial fracas this\u00a0bird\u00a0landed near the base of the sign post that the victim of its attack had been perched on and from that position watched the other hawk fly off.\u00a0 A couple of seconds later this bird did the same.<\/p>\n

I provide the following image for context only.<\/p>\n

Those who saw the first post will recognize the sign that the first hawk had been perched on when this one attacked.\u00a0 Perhaps I should have included these two images in the original post but I ran out of time and since the birds aren’t fighting in these shots I just decided to post\u00a0them separately.<\/p>\n
