About a month ago I shared the image of an immature Red Tail Hawk with you. Here is an adult and from the color of its eyes, it has been around awhile. The eyes of a Red Tail Hawk get darker as the bird gets older. In addition, its sere (featherless skin above the beak) gets a deeper yellow with each year that it gets older. I am sorry, but I am challenged and do not know how to make a link to the image of the immature bird so you could make the comparison. Anyway enjoy this fine old bird. It is sitting in the same tree that the immature bird was sitting in.

Magnificent capture of this majestic hawk, Garrett! He looks very noble in his natural surroundings and against that beautiful blue sky! Excellent details as always! Thanks for the information and comparisons to the younger Red Tail Hawks. I do remember your previous post.

Wonderful pose, details and lighting on the older bird. Thank you too for sharing the differences as they age. A pleasure to view.

I can see the differances myself Garret. I bet this old fellow has taught the youngster a thing or two about survival. He is beautiful. Faved.
