A beautiful adult male Red-bellied Woodpecker, 7/3/19. It's a joy to get to see this species year-round. :0)

The red rock landscape of Canyonlands after sunset at Dead Horse Point State Park in Utah. The direct light of the sun had faded and left just a bit of indirect glow on the eastern side of the Colorado River canyon. I really liked the warmth of the red rock in this light, enhanced a bit with a long 80 second exposure through Lee Filters Little Stopper (6 stop) ND filter.
This is the second shot I posted from Dead Horse Point, something I don't normally do, but I'm making lots of exceptions for this trip. The light and the composition are very different from my previous shot. This shot taken using the Pentax K-3 ii pixel shift and the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Art lens.

The red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) is a bird of prey that breeds throughout most of North America, from the interior of Alaska and northern Canada to as far south as Panama and the West Indies. It is one of the most common members within the genus of Buteo in North America or worldwide.[2] The red-tailed hawk is one of three species colloquially known in the United States as the "chickenhawk," though it rarely preys on standard-sized chickens.[3] The bird is sometimes also referred to as the red-tail for short, when the meaning is clear in context. Red-tailed hawks can acclimate to all the biomes within their range, occurring on the edges of non-ideal habitats such as dense forests and sandy deserts.[4] The red-tailed hawk occupies a wide range of habitats and altitudes including deserts, grasslands, coniferous and deciduous forests, agricultural fields and urban areas. Its latitudinal limits fall around the tree line in the Arctic and the species is absent from the high Arctic. It is legally protected in Canada, Mexico and the United States by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
The 14 recognized subspecies vary in appearance and range, varying most often in color, and in the west of North America, red-tails are particularly often strongly polymorphic, with individuals ranging from almost white to nearly all black.[5] The subspecies Harlan's hawk (B. j. harlani) is sometimes considered a separate species (B. harlani).[6] The red-tailed hawk is one of the largest members of the genus Buteo, typically weighing from 690 to 1,600 g (1.5 to 3.5 lb) and measuring 45–65 cm (18–26 in) in length, with a wingspan from 110–141 cm (3 ft 7 in–4 ft 8 in). This species displays sexual dimorphism in size, with females averaging about 25% heavier than males.[2][7]
The diet of red-tailed hawks is highly variable and reflects their status as opportunistic generalist, but in North America, it is most often a predator of small mammals such as rodents. Prey that is terrestrial and diurnal is preferred so types such as ground squirrels are preferential where they naturally occur.[8] Large numbers of birds and reptiles can occur in the diet in several areas and can even be the primary foods. Meanwhile, amphibians, fish and invertebrates can seem rare in the hawk’s regular diet; however, they are not infrequently taken by immature hawks. Red-tailed hawks may survive on islands absent of native mammals on diets variously including invertebrates such as crabs, or lizards and birds. Like many Buteo, they hunt from a perch most often but can vary their hunting techniques where prey and habitat demand it.[5][9] Because they are so common and easily trained as capable hunters, the majority of hawks captured for falconry in the United States are red-tails. Falconers are permitted to take only passage hawks (which have left the nest, are on their own, but are less than a year old) so as to not affect the breeding population. Adults, which may be breeding or rearing chicks, may not be taken for falconry purposes and it is illegal to do so. Passage red-tailed hawks are also preferred by falconers because these younger birds have not yet developed the adult behaviors which would make them more difficult to train.[10]
I'm headed straight down the middle. Worst case, I become a tree.
This was a drive-by shot taken from the passenger seat on the back roads from castle to castle in Scotland. Not a bad way to spend a day.

▶ "Canna indica —commonly known as Indian shot, African arrowroot, edible canna, purple arrowroot, and canna lily (although not a true lily)— is a plant species in the family Cannaceae. It is native to much of South and Central America, and is naturalized in the southeastern United States. The plant is a perennial growing to between 1.5 and 8 feet tall (0.5 - 2.5 meters), depending on the variety. The flowers are red or yellow-orange (different colors for cultivars), 1⁄8–3⁄8 inches long (0.2–1 cm). Canna indica (achira in Hispanic America, cana-da-índia in Brazil) has been a minor food crop cultivated by indigenous peoples of the Americas for thousands of years."

A pair of Red Crossbills in the front yard today. They were mixed in with a flock of White-winged Crossbills. This is a first sighting of the Red for me :)

The Red Fort is a historic fort in the city of Delhi (in Old Delhi) in India that served as the main residence of the Mughal Emperors. Emperor Shah Jahan commissioned construction of the Red Fort on 12 May 1638, when he decided to shift his capital from Agra to Delhi. Originally red and white, its painting is credited to architect Ustad Ahmad Lahori, who also constructed the Taj Mahal. It was renovated between May 1639 and April 1648 based on an earlier fort.
Every year on India's Independence Day (15 August), the prime minister hoists the Indian tricolour flag at the fort's main gate and delivers a nationally broadcast speech from its ramparts. The name Red Fort is a translation of the Hindustani Lāl Qila (Hindi: लाल क़िला, Urdu: لال قلعہ] deriving from its red sandstone walls. Lal was derived from Hindustani language meaning "Red" and Qalàh derived from Persian word meaning "Fortress". As the residence of the imperial family, the fort was originally known as the "Blessed Fort" (Qila-i-Mubārak).

Considered an invasive species outside of the Indian subcontinent, these birds were probably the second most abundant land bird after the doves and Mynas (another introduced) in Tahiti. This bird was in fact being chased by a Myna before this picture was taken.
The red kite is a large, impressive bird of prey. Its rust-red colored plumage gives its name and with a height of around 65 cm it is larger than the common buzzard. His head is light gray and he has black and white feathers on the bottom. What is unique is the deeply forked tail, which distinguishes it from all other birds of prey.
