I was fortunate enough to observe and document this interaction between a breeding pair of Red-shouldered Hawks that inhabit my neighborhood. I'm assuming the male is helping to feed the female and that's her with the snake. My choice of title is simply what popped into my head knowing full well the reputation men have for not listening to their wives. Apologies for the dreary overcast conditions in which this capture was obtained.

Always great to get two of the same bird in the same shot Steve.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

What am I going to do with you, Steven? I post a Red-shouldered Hawk, you post two!:-P :-D This is great, Steve. Weather conditions are not distracting at all imo. Looks like what I was in today. And he doesn't appear too interested in the offering. (I wouldn't either)

Tough to keep up with the Joneses huh Rog? j/k of course as being lucky played a big part in this image. Always appreciate your comments and humor my friend.

I like overcast skies. It evens out the light.
Nice shot with both in the frame.
