From a few days ago now, but got my best Red-shouldered Hawk photos a couple days ago.

All of these pics are taken from my walk-out upper deck overlooking my backyard.

Have you reported it to ebird? That is a really rare find!

@TexasCobraNice pics and birds!! However, this thread is for “your best photo of the day”. I know that some of us post photos here from past days or even multiple photos, but that’s usually limited to 2 photos at once. I think it’s fine if you post 2-3 photos a day in this thread, but please put the rest somewhere else, like this thread:

I believe I did report it to ebird.  I will check.  I am fortunate to be situated on a flyway north of San Antonio and two miles south of the Guadalupe River.  The house is located at the pinnacle of a limestone hill roughly 100 metres above the river level.  The yard contains various oaks (red oak, live oak, Spanish oak) as well as native vines and wildflowers.  My plantings include species attractive to hummingbirds and other wildlife.  Surrounding properties include exotic game ranches, sheep and cattle ranches, grazing land, junipers, scrubland, and riverine locations.  From my deck I can view the Twin Sisters geological feature some 17 miles away in Blanco County.  The Texas Hill Country is quite exceptional!
