Our guest photographer, Dennis McElveen shares beautiful
series of a Red-tailed Hawk from his recent trip to Big Bend National Park. Even though the Red-tailed Hawk may be the
most common in the U.S.,
seeing one up close is still a magnificent sight.
Says Dennis, “the Hawk was just off the trail sitting on the
sotol stalk. We stood and watched him for quite a while. He didn't leave until
we got ever so close. Beautiful raptor.”

A great blog to learn about birding in the Big
Bend is http://bigbendtx.blogspot.com/
Big Bend
National Park has several
birding and wildlife watching sites included on the Far West Texas Wildlife
Trail, a joint project of the Texas Mountain Trail and Texas Parks
and Wildlife. Here’s a link to the BigBend Loop of that Trail.
We thank Dennis for sharing his wonderful images this
week. This is our first post of a week of great photos. Interested in seeing more of
