Last night I shared an image of an immature Red Tail Hawk. Tonight I am sharing the image of an adult. While this bird has adult plumage, it is still on the younger side of adulthood. As a Red Tail ages its sere (skin above beak) turns a dark yellow. In addition, its eyes will darken with age to a deep brown. Last nights bird was maybe 20 feet out and 25 feet up. Tonights bird was 50 yards out and 40 feet up. It is very difficult to approach an adult. Young birds lack their wariness and that lacking becomes a function of their survival.

An excellent capture of the Red Tail Hawk Garrett. Fine colour and details in this beauty. Very well done.

Enjoy nature, Take nothing but photographs and leave nothing but footprints
He really pops out against that blue sky and the clearity is good.
One small thing about the branch at the right of the bird, perhapse you can clon that out, to get a clean sky.
*but that's just me..hehe*
Overall a great shot:o)

A fine capture of this majestic hawk, Garrett! Superb in details and colours, and I love how he stands out against the clear skies! Once again, I am drawn to his eye! Outstanding work!
