Five On The Wire – #19
If possible, I will slow down to a stop on the shoulder if I see a raptor perched on a wire in the distance. As long as I stay in my car and shoot from the window, there’s a better chance they will many remain perched for a photo.
This is how this series got started! 😁
Red-shouldered Hawk (immature)
Red-shouldered Hawk (adult)
Red-tailed Hawk
American Kestrel
Turkey Vulture

I’m sure these birds are writing posts about us humans. Look how they look at … Wonderful! I do enjoy these photographs so much!
I’m sure I’ve given them some goofy posts, ha! Thank you, Sandy!
Perfectly captured images!!
Thank you, Indira!
Beautiful captures, Donna!
Thank you, Eliza!
Wonderful photos
Thank you, Sheree!
Good to know! 😉

Just lovely
Gwen.
Thank you, Gwen!
You caught the subtle colors and fluff of the Kestrel beautifully, Donna.
Thank you, Curt! Oh those kestrels, they are so skittish when you try to even look at them, ha!
Very nice, Donna! Interesting to see a turkey vulture up close. I’ve only seen them in flight.
Thank you, Belinda! I see TVs all the time, but this photo might be the first time I’ve seen one on a communication wire and not a pole. I spun around for him lol!
Lovely set especially the Kestrel
Thank you, Brian! Me too, wish kestrels were easier to photograph, they tend to fly before you get your lens on them lol.
Excellent collection, Donna.
Thank you, Michael!
You’re most welcome.
A lovely showcase of your raptors Donna !
All new to me. Thanks
That is a good idea Donna – less chance of spooking them that way, although they probably know you and think “this is my chance to be featured in Donna’s blog!” The Kestrel is very pretty as is the Red-shouldered Hawk. Poor Turkey Vulture, but I’ve never seen one that close-up before, so thank you.
