Power On The Pole

I sure wouldn't want to sit myself there with so many wires and the energy they may contain, but this hawk doesn't seem to care. It was sitting on a power pole not far from the road. I think it is either a Red-shouldered or Red-tailed Hawk. It is true, there is power up there on the pole, but this danger is in the beak and claws of this predator! Small prey be wary! Even so, I thought the pose looked regal.

Gorgeous capture of this hawk Vern! I'm guessing it's a red tail. V

I love how you caught him with his face turned back like this. Terrific shot, Vern. Looks like a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk to me. :)

It's in the best place to search for his next meal, and I'm sure he knows he's safe up there.
