Red-shouldered Hawk

This Red-shouldered Hawk displayed nicely alongside Lower Wagonwheel Road, a dirt road I was following in Big Cypress National Preserve.

With no one else around and the looks I was getting, it was apparent I had interrupted his/her hunt.  The hawk took flight to the next tree, putting a little more distance between us.  Social distancing!

S/he went on with their hunt as did I for another bird!  🙂
