The Oldest Botanical Garden in the Western Hemisphere
The oldest botanical garden in the Western Hemisphere gave us breadfruit history, a Cannonball Tree flower, a wild Broad-winged Hawk, and the clear sense that one morning was nowhere near enough.https://islandinthenet.com/the-oldest-botanical-garden-in-the-western-hemisphere/
Hawk in the High Light
This is a broad‑winged hawk (Buteo platypterus). I haven’t seen one recently, and I captured this image some time ago. Every time I’ve spotted one, it’s been high overhead, making it tough to get a detailed, close‑up shot.

Broad-Winged Hawk in Flight
This is a broad-winged hawk (Buteo platypterus) that I spot occasionally. I was fortunate with this photograph—the hawk banked just right, allowing me to capture its top side. Lately, I haven't seen many hawks, though that might be because I often sit under the canopy of my pergola, unaware of what's soaring overhead.

Hunting Hawk in Motion
Charlie and I went to sit outside at 0730 this morning. There was a lone white pigeon in the middle of the yard near some feeders and a bird bath. It was the same pigeon that I posted a couple days ago ... I think she might be domesticated because she doesn't fear us being close. Anyway, after a few minutes the pigeon took off I looked up and saw a hawk was descending. I almost dropped my camera trying to capture the moment. I was too slow, but the broad-winged (Buteo platypterus) landed close by in a tree, then took off again flying low over the yard ... I managed a couple of pics then.

Sky Hunter’s Glide
Beware, death itself is in the air. This broad-winged hawk (Buteo platypterus) buzzed my backyard this morning, looking for a meal. I've never actually seen a hawk take a bird from my yard; the only evidence is the occasional puff of feathers left from the left behind after the struggle.
"Late Pleistocene fossils of Broad-winged Hawks, up to 400,000 years old, have been unearthed in Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Virginia, and Puerto Rico." - allaboutbirds.org
You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.
