Red-tailed Hawk at Delta Ponds

This Red-tailed Hawk was high in a tree above one on the ponds, probably watching for prey to show themselves. Naturally it was facing the opposite direction. But, when it turned its head and the eye got a highlight from the sunlight, it made a nice shot. Also, its red tail is visible from the back, which helped me to come up with an ID. I think I got it right. :) It was a very long shot, done handheld.

Nice catch, perhaps it saw the camera and decided a profile shot would look good.
