Red-tailed Hawk - Finally some success!
Red-tails were one of the species that I didn't have good photos of, not that the birds were particularly shy or elusive, but because something would always go wrong while I tried to photograph them, either the background turned into a blown-out white mess, or the bird's wing was clipped at take-off, or the camera wasn't able to focus on the bird before it took off. I finally had some moderate success with this adult male(?) who has been doing quite a lot of hunting with his partner. Unfortunately due to time constraints I couldn't wait for the bird to take off, but these perched shots are good enough for me.
