Quotography - Hawk's Feather


"Not everyone likes to look at what they call 'little birds'. They want to look at something big. They like to watch the hawks."
 Margi Huber

This quote must be true.  Or, at least I was thrilled to find this feather in the park when walking Chet recently.  Last fall two hawks stayed in a tree in my suburban back yard long enough for me to get a photo.  Better than any cardinal or even hummingbird! (I think this may be a red-tailed hawk feather.  What do you think?)

It does look like it has a redish tint to it! Nice find and shot Faye!

Very nice find! It surely does look like a hawk feather. Would make a nice book mark!

No idea what kind of bird it belongs to, but it's a beautiful feather!

Whatever the feather, I love it! I am also likely to pick up feathers...they are just so interesting!

Marie said...

It's a beautiful feather!

based on the feather i picked up today under a favorite red-shouldered hawk perching area, i'd say maybe that's it. :)

that quote makes you think. As for me I like to look at both large birds and small birds. I think their behaviour is fascinating. kaye—the road goes ever ever on
