I thought it was a little unusual that it has one brown eye and one yellow eye.

Rounding a bend on one of the trails at Reifel, I stumbled upon this beautiful young Red-tailed Hawk that was just sitting in the path. Concerned for its well being, someone summoned the sanctuary staff to come and look at him. We pondered whether to call O.W.L., the rehab centre for raptors when the hawk made a lunge for a tree. Wings and tail looked intact, but he did have a rather scruffy hair do. We figured he must have smacked into a tree branch going after a small bird. He was just a bit stunned and settled into a tree to rest. After about twenty minutes, he left, apparently none the worse for wear.

Thunderbird pose. Came upon this immature hawk on a deer carcass. It was posing to ward off another raptor and, when I stopped, me. After a minute or so, it took off and landed on a post nearby, waiting impatiently for me to take my turn. I passed, leaving it the prize.

I'm watching you too

started taking my camera to work and it paid off. Not 500 or 600 mm but I got the shot. This red tailed hawk hangs out on these towers and got a little lower than the mocking birds cared for.

Correction, this is apparently a juvenile red-tailed hawk, not a swainson's, sorry bout that.

An earlier photo of the immature red-tail way up in that tree outside the pharmacy. Wasn't as close to the hawk, then.

Falconry bird, 2 years old. Didn't have time to chat with the falconer though and only took these two shots.

These guys are quite common in this area. Here one greets the day first thing in the morning.

This red-tailed hawk flew by high and out, so I missed getting a shot. hen it circled and alit in this tree across the field. I was able to make some approach before it took off. At Commonwealth Lake.

Perched in a dead snag above a wetland with Canada Geese and goslings. The Canada Geese were keeping the little ones very close.
