I am naming this shot the "Johnny Birds," after a good friend that always seems to capture raptors with food in their mouths. Here, a Red-tailed Hawk was in the middle of his late day meal when he was discovered.
Juv. Red-tailed Hawk - they are so goofy, flying around acting tough when, in fact, they don't have a clue what they are doing!
I was lucky to watch the drama between a Red-tail and a squirrel. The Raptor had the squirrel in a bush. The bird walked around on the ground hoping to spook it out. The squirrel stayed put as it chittered with agitation. The hawk finally gave up and flew up into a nearby tree. The squirrel dashed for safety and the bird dove at it. Squirrel got away and the hawk resumed its hunting.
I was out for an early morning walk around the yard, and heard beating wings as a young Red-tail flew up from the underbrush and landed above me in a Big-leaf Maple. Several Eastern Cottontails that usually are around were nowhere to be seen, until later, after the hawk had gone.
As the light was fading, I looked up at three Red-tailed Hawks soaring high above the hills. Looking closer, one looked different and when I got my bins on it, I realized it was a partially leucistic RTH.
I only got a couple shots at a great distance before they all flew off over the hills. What an absolute thrill to see this bird today. I've seen a few leucistic birds but never a raptor..

I was driving and Hadley spotted this guy. So we pulled off right at the Monterrey Mushroom factory. The smell of manure is so overwhelming there that i regretted getting out to switch drivers. But we drove back up the road and he was gone, but then i saw him. I got one shot! He is a beauty,
I don't often post an entire series but occasionally I get a set that I enjoy enough to do so. This Red Tailed Hawk and I had an hour of uninterrupted time as it posed, preened and cleaned itself. First in the park, and then on a fence of a yard that bordered the park. Finally taking off into a tree, where it sat for just a few seconds as if to say good-bye. Then flew up into the branches and out of sight. A most heart warming experience.
