Almost back, with something special
Since Hurricane Milton my focus has been cleanup and reconstruction and coupled with some personal health issues has been rather slow progress. Cleanup has me outside more consistently all day long, which has afforded the opportunity to watch my resident hawks more than ever before. This pair have been interacting like this for two weeks, quite often stopping my work to watch! I wasn’t sure what their relationship was, friend or foe, but finally yesterday I witnessed the truth, albeit without my camera. In an oak tree I watched them mate and then fly off to the nesting area across the street! Here are a few sample photos from last week and a link to a special slideshow of some of my best captures of the past.

I'll have a good look at your slideshow in a moment.
I just wanted to say how glad I am to see you posting again.
On Edit: Wow, fabulous photos! The hawks are just splendid birds and you have caught them superbly well. Thank you!
And thanks for sharing the hawk pictures! They look like sharp-shinned hawks. How nice to have a mating pair nesting close by!
Hope the clean up and personal stuff are going more smoothly.
I can only identify four or five different hawks! Those just happen to be one, they look a lot like the Cooper's Hawk but those are at least twice as big... almost same color scheme though.
