Red-Tailed Hawk twofer

 


I caught one Red-Tailed circling overhead out by the prairie by my house and took a bunch of shots. The hawk was a long way away and far up but I was able to zoom in with a 600mm lens, handheld, and get a couple of just sharp enough shots. I put two of them on the same frame as I caught different lighting and views as "he" circled around. (Might have been a "she". I don't know.) Anyway, the Red-Tailed Hawk is a common bird in these parts. I am sure you have seen one, but without zooming in, I didn't know what kind of hawk it was. Very pretty coloring on its underparts. Cool looking bird.
