Stepping Off 6432
A Red-tailed hawk takes a leap of faith and flies off into a cloudy New Mexico sky. Red-tailed hawks have significant geographic variations in plumage. This is a southwestern variety and was photographed in Bosque del Apache NWR in San Antonio, New Mexico. The red-tailed hawk is one of the largest members of the genus Buteo and also one of the most common. They are also one of the most common birds used in falconry. A dark feathered morph of the red tailed hawk has been given the name "Harlan's Hawk." I must admit that I have a fascination with raptors. Watching their behaviors, it is easier for me to make a mental connection with the dinosaur relatives from which they are descendants. #ILoveBirds
