Red-Shouldered Hawks are rare visitors to Central Park, so it was a pleasure to see them in the Everglades over my Christmas/New Year’s break while visiting Florida.

The first four photographs are of a juvenile bird, then some of two adults.  The last two are of an attack on an egret by a Red-shouldered Hawk at the Shark Valley Visitor’s Center.  (I was the only one among about 30 visitors who noticed the attack.  I guess people being unaware of nature isn’t only limited to the city!)
