I am most fortunate to have a resident Red Tailed Hawk that keeps watch from the big tree in the back. We see him almost every day. He is a nice still model but far away and requires binoculars to really see him.
I sketched in the big book, about a page, with the Pilot fountain pen. Quick and freehand as you can tell.
This big tree takes forever to bud out in the spring, we thought it was dead the first year we lived here and it looks dead now.

Nice that you can see the hawk with binoculars. Good sketch of him/her in the tree.
great simple sketch :)
Don't have turkey buzzards or turkey vultures here. not the prettiest of birds, but they do serve a purpose :)
Nicely sketched Jo!!! I love watching birds... I just bought a bird house and look forward to warmer weather to put it up....it’s so interesting to see them “furnish” their homes ..
Jennifer Rose, thanks. The buzzards are not "handsome" but they look beautiful in flight. Sometimes we will see 20 or more just gliding around. Fun to see.
hmuxo, thank you so much. We quit feeding the birds, expensive and they have plenty to eat around here. We have a couple of Mocking Birds nesting in some brush piled up in the yard.
Thanks, Joan. I read your comment the other day and missed posting it. The hawk is in the tree almost every day. Soon there will be too many leaves to see it there. It may find a new lookout point.
