I've always seen Red-shouldered hawks flying around Charlottesville but haven't gotten any good shots of then until now. As soon as I got to the park, I spotted two of these birds perched in the most photogenic spots and got these great shots. Sometimes wildlife photography is just about being in the right place at the right time!

Went for a hike yesterday and found some strange-looking dogs staring at me from inside the forest. If anyone knows who their owner is please let me know 🦌🌳❄️
