Red-tailed Hawk

17 August 2014-Douglas-Hart Nature Center, Coles County, Illinois

This hawk was eating some fresh squirrel meat.

We didn't get any good shots of this bird with its wings in the up position, I liked this one where its banking just enough to get a nice look at both wings and still have some eye contact.

Redtail hawks come in many flavors. The darker ones are some of my favorites.

I originally identified this bird as a "dark-morph", but upon further research it is most likely a rufous morph or intermediate color phase.

Redtails are highly variable in their plumage and a dark bird can be a rufous or intermediate phase or a dark morph. It's often a tough call depending on lighting conditions, etc., but a fun challenge none the less with this species.

Got up at 5 am and drove to the Withlacoochee Forest to shoot some birds and wildlife. Saw absolutely nothing. Step out back this evening and hear this Hawk Screeching. Go figure.
