Naples, Florida. A red-shouldered hawk at CREW Bird Rookery Swamp, alert on its perch.
CREW (Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed) protects thousands of acres of wetland and forest in southwest Florida, connected by trails that offer excellent birding. Red-shouldered hawks are common here, their calls echoing through the forest as they hunt for frogs, snakes, and small mammals.
Red-shouldered hawks are distinguished by the rusty-red barring on their chests and the banded tail visible in flight. They're sit-and-wait hunters, using elevated perches to spot prey and then dropping in swift attacks. Their presence indicates a healthy ecosystem — they need abundant prey, which requires healthy habitat throughout the food chain.
The twelve miles of trails at CREW Bird Rookery Swamp offer some of the best birding in southwest Florida. This hawk represents one thread in that web.
Limited edition Chromaluxe metal print. Ultra gloss finish brings out the rusty tones of the plumage and the intensity of the hawk's gaze.
