Overlooking a two-lane highway
Lately I've noticed a number of hawks in trees or on wires watching cars go by. What's that all about?

They're probably putting together a business plan - checking out the numbers - so they can hawk their wares?
No?
Sheesh.
Such a beautiful shot. You knew I'd ask what kind of hawk this is...right?
Jacob, I think this is a red-tailed hawk. They seem to be the most common around here.
Those birds should be called "highway hawks" or "highwire hawks," non?! Timing is everything - great shot!
I think they are looking for 'road kill'. Easy pickings.
Beautiful shot and you say they won;t hold still for you.
Yes the days are getting longer.
Sunrise: 7:30

Temp at 5:30---34F and rain forcast.
And soon the sun will shine there again.

Maybe the hawk thinks there is some dinner waiting on those cars... ha ha ha
Yum Yum---crunched metal!!!!
Beautiful photo of the hawk...
We have a little more snow here this morning--just a dusting but pretty.
Hugs,

I don't know what he's looking at, but this is a wonderful picture.
We've got hawks too, but I've never gotten this close for a photo.
This is a beauty. Great shot!
They are trying to figure out how long earth will last.
Gorgeous shot, superb bird.
Awesome shot of the Hawk. They do seem to sit along the highway.
Excellent image!

"What's all that about?" is possibly the question in the hawk's mind! All those cars and all that rush and all that impatience...
God bless you!

That is a fabulous hawk and the photo is so impressive! That background compliments the birds beautifully...I like this!
Fabulous photo!
Oh wow....did you stop on the highway to snap the photo? I've been tempted to do that when I see fowl around the highways, but I fear being hit.
Here is my C C...do hope you can stop by sometime today.
Wow, awesome capture EW. Thanks for sharing:)
Maybe they are waiting for corpse to be in highways ??? If they have no food they have to find some way to get food. Cats and rabbits are often road kills and food for them maybe ?
What a beautiful bird in pic !
Now THAT's something I'm not likely to see first hand where I live! Wonderful capture ... thanks for sharing.
Hugs and blessings,

Great shot of the hawk. They sit on the wires here too but looking over the fields for lunch. I find them very nervous about being photographed and take flight on me.
Wonderful shot, very special!
:-)
Great shot indeed! Maybe the hawks think that cars are some kind of animals ... This is at least what seem to think my dogs ... Anything that moves is an animal for them :-)
Or they might be collecting some pics for their weekend human meme.
All your answers are right on! It is, indeed a red-tail, and they are high-way hawks in the winter! Sometimes it seems as though they do line the highway in large numbers. Great photo! ~karen
Great Entry! God Bless!
What a beautiful owl! Love the coloring!!
wow--how do you get a shot like that? We have a lot of hawks along the highway too.
Wonderful capture!
Red-tails are a fixture along our highways also always on the lookout for a free meal from the road-kill cafe.
Beautiful capture! They must be following you because they want their picture taken!
One of the lovliest shots of a Red-tail I've ever seen! You must have a great zoom on your camera. Thanks for sharing. ~ks
What a great picture.
Thanks for posting it.
