The hawk was very close to me concentrating on finding a fish in one of the low pools of water remaining at Corkscrew. It was perched in a tree with lots of branches. I was photographing the bird which was just off the boardwalk looking the other way.

A second image of the hawk is in the first comment section.

The red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus) is a medium-sized hawk. Its breeding range spans eastern North America and along the coast of California and northern to northeastern-central Mexico. Red-shouldered hawks are permanent residents throughout most of their range, though northern birds do migrate, mostly to central Mexico. The main conservation threat to the widespread species is deforestation. – Wikipedia

towards the other hummer he would be confronting with his open beak from the picture I posted a few days ago which is in the comment box below if you didn't see it, which I think most of you probably have.

How's that for a lengthy sentence, LOL!
