Beautiful. I love raptors of any kind and you did them all justice with this shot.

He is sitting on a fence post about 30 feet from me. I think he is a juvenile red tailed hawk.

Beautiful raptor. Like the composition of him/her sitting on a stump.

Terrific shot, Dale! I was trying to identify him, but a bit difficult with his head turned and part of his tail covered. My first guess was a juvenile Snail Kite - which would be amazing as they are endangered, uncommon and only found in parts of Florida. So - most likely that is not correct. What do you think?

Wish he'd been looking in your direction. Otherwise this is a very nice close up with your Bridge Camera. Was he sitting on a low stump? You get the best photo opts where you live. He looks quite close.
