Soring Red-tailed Hawk
While taking photos of the planes in my last post, I saw this guy soaring around.
He is an awsomely cool red-tailed hawk.
When looking the up on wikipedia for the link above I found...
I think this photo turned out the best. I love the way all his feathers show up.

I agree PattyinAlabama, they are just so beautiful. Looks like we are both lucky enough to live in place were we get to see hawks. Thanks so much for visiting and for your nice comment. Have a great day. |

OH wow, to see them is awesome, to capture one in flight on "film"........ To be close to a Hawk, or an Eagle in flight is one of the most awesome experiences in living in the SW. |

Thank you anacoana, I was lucky enough to be outside trying to get a photo of the planes, as I was watching them fly off, I saw the hawk in flight behind a tree. Lucky for me he came overhead trying to catch a thermal. They are just so awesome looking. I love the pattern on their wings as they sore above. Thanks for taking some time to stop by and comment. Have a wonderful day. |

I love the last one, too. You could almost give wing anatomy lessons based on that photo! Great job. |

Thank you anonymous visitor. Thanks for commenting and for stopping by come back again. |
Truly amazing photos of a red tailed hawk! I've never seen one this close up and so detailed. We have red tailed hawks in northern California but they are always soaring very high in the sky. The sunlight shines through the tail feathers. |

Thanks so very much Eleisia http://californiabirdwatching.wordpress.com so glad you enjoyed the photo. I am lucky to live where I do. If I recall correctly these photos were taken with the canon rebel and sigma "bigma" lens. Thanks for your comment. |
Simply beautiful. I live out in the country and I love watching the hawks in flight. I even see them alot on power poles watching the fields. They are beautiful birds.
