Red Shouldered Hawk perched in the rain. This picture is an excellent example of how this species uses natural camouflage to protect themselves. It also serves as a naturally beautiful background for a portrait!

Thank you!
A really beautiful portrait of a Red Shouldered Hawk. You are so right about the color composition in this photo. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I love it when a photograph doesn’t need editing, that is something I am not very gifted with! But I do love nature photography. 🙂
