Red-Tailed Hawk Takeoff
I struggled with whether or not to post this shot, mainly because I failed to get a catch light in his eye. But I liked how the light shone through his wings and tail feathers, so here it is! This guy hangs out and hunts near some fields close to my place, and I happened to catch him just as he lifted off from his perch. I just love it when birds fully spread their wings and tail feathers, especially this species with their beautiful red tails!
