Same red-tailed hawk, a juvenile Buteo jamaicensis, but from a different angle. This is where my student first spotted him/her, hip-deep in mud at the side of a small pond. A strange place for a hawk, so that's why we were worried about whether it was injured or ill. But it flew from here onto a nearby perch, then to another when we made too much noise, too close.
leucistic red-tailed hawk, Valyermo Post Office, Valyermo, CA, 2013 Jan 26. Continuing since November.
This immature red-tail flew up near the top of this very tall tree near the pharmacy - which made the trip to the pharmacy that much more fulfilling.
Going through my archives (some belated but necessary spring cleaning) finding some images I never processed. I started bird photography in fall of 2006 - this one is from November 2006.
Red-tail Hawk stopped by Tompkins Square Park, sat on a lamp post and then dropped down on a small rodent or mole.
