Red-tailed Hawk

Southeastern Arizona

We took a Sunday drive out to the Huachuca Mountains. It was a beautiful day.
It was even more beautiful when I spotted this gorgeous hawk!

What a nice find on your road-trip..terrific bird of prey!!

Oh, beautiful shot, Carol! Lovely details and light. A fence post in open country is definitely natural habitat for these hawks and puts the bird on a nice level with the camera. Really a terrific shot!

Ooo, what a find! How exciting! I love how well-lit the hawk is and the intent expression in the eye.

Beautiful composition. We don't get them very often at that level. A great opportunity and a great result.

What wonderful eyes he has. I can't imagine that he misses much. I don't think you do either!
