more bird watching....

I was watching some Bluejays the other day.
There were 2 of them, and they were so sweet feeding eachother and sharing food.
I was really hoping to get a picture of the two of them together.
I was just about to snap the sweetest picture when a big shadow caused the birds to scatter. 
It was a juvenile Red tailed hawk... 
It swooped in to catch the Bluejays but missed, and then he perched himself in a tree in our backyard.... 
He sat there for quite a while looking around.... 
It was fluffing it's feathers up when it heard a noise.... 
It then flew and perched itself on our bird feeder.... 
It sat there for quite a while before flying away.  Sad to say we didn't have many birds the rest of the day.
That's ok though...this bird was so beautiful...look at that coloring!! 
I would have loved to be there the day God decided how each bird's feathers would look ;)
