Red-shouldered Wing Spread

I saw this Red-shouldered Hawk land in a nearby tree and patiently wait for me to get out of the car and retrieve my camera from the back of my car. In fact, he almost wore me out waiting for him to move. Lucky again, he moved from a leafy tree to a bare snag, allowing a nice clean shot of his next takeoff. (Buteo lineatus). (Sony a1, 200-600 lens at 512mm, 1/4000 second, f/6.3, ISO 1250)
