[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A beautiful Red-tailed Hawk taken at the Read Sanctuary in Rye New York.

Red-tailed Hawk: Large, highly variable hawk with brown upperparts, head and throat. The underparts are pale with brown streaks. Wings are pale below with dark bar at leading edge and dark tips. The tail is red-brown with dark terminal band. Legs and feet are yellow. Soars on thermals and updrafts.

Range and Habitat
Red-tailed Hawk: Found in Alaska and Canada south to Panama. Found in open country, woodlands, prairie groves, mountains, plains, farmlands, and roadsides.

INTERESTING FACTSThe raspy cry of the Red-tailed Hawk is typically used in movies to represent any eagle or hawk anywhere in the world.
They can spot a mouse from a height of 100 feet.
Males and females perform a courtship ritual in which they dive and roll in the sky. They will even lock talons and fall together a distance before splitting apart.
A group of hawks has many collective nouns, including a "boil", "knot", "spiraling", "stream", and "tower" of hawks.

Hello Angela,

You have captured the beauty of this bird with a sharp focus so that the colours, patterns and texture of its plummage is very well recorded.
I love the backward pose!
Good composition and a well-chosen dof.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
