I took this image almost a month ago. For about
a month this immature Red Tail was very visible, always sitting in one of a few trees.
I haven't seen the bird for a few weeks now.
I am assuming that it has moved on or ......
Lets think the best and assume he moved on to a better hunting ground farther away from humans. He is a beautiful bird and you did a magnificent job of capturing him.
Garrett, I think this is the same hawk you posted once before in a different pose; both are spectacular shots. I am sure he is just checking out new hunting grounds (one I have been watching for several months has moved on, but I spotted what I think is the same one about 3 miles further east). Maybe due to the weather getting colder, he's looking for a new location.
I'd like to think it has moved on, Garrett :) An amazing and outstanding capture and composition, of this majestic bird! Beautiful details, textures and natural colours!
my favorite type of bird, and you captured it beautifully. i love the lighting and composition in your picture. you would be a great candidate for national geographic =]
