McAlpine Creek Park Rockstar Raptor:
When out birding, I generally most enjoy observing and photographing raptors.
Accordingly, my favorite avian subject during my recent visit to McAlpine Creek Park on November 9, 2021, was an impressive and photogenic Red-shouldered Hawk.
Today, I’d like to share a few images of this Rockstar Raptor!
Enjoy!
Stay safe, and have a great day!

McAlpine Creek Park:
The morning of November 9, 2021, was beautiful, crisp, and sunny!
I spent it birding at McAlpine Creek Park, one of my favorite local spots, with a friendly and knowledgeable small group from the Mecklenburg Audubon Society.
We had a fun and productive morning, encountering 41 bird species!
Today, I’d like to share an initial set of images from this outing:
Two photos of a Winter Wren; Great Blue Heron; two shots of Northern Mockingbirds; Juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk; three images of Chipping Sparrows; and a small flock of Cedar Waxwings.
Enjoy!
Stay safe, and have a great day!
