CPF Postmaster Reports:

Big thank you to Ann Willis for sending in her photos of a red-shouldered hawk that came to visit her in early January 2011. After we help identify her special visitor, we asked for her permission to post some of her shots, as we don’t get to see allot of Red-shouldered hawks in our neck of the woods and rarely do we ever get such great close up shots!! We will also be posting them in the Raptor ID sections of the CPF web site so others can benefit from these great views of the red-shouldered hawk. The photos were taken Jan. 10, 2011. The hawk has been on my front porch and then on my deck yesterday. I believe that he was seeing his reflection in my sliding doors. He tried a couple of times to fly into the glass, flew off, then returned and sat first on the table, then on the deck right next to the door looking into the house. He stayed around most of the morning. I am the photographer and you have my permission to post the photos. I will include a bunch more.
