I shot this picture today at Riverfront Park in Billings MT. I was hoping one of you might recognize what type bird we have here. I appreciate your feedback.
Thanks Dwayne, I appreciate the reply. I hav e seen pictures of the Red Tail Hawks and I agree, this sure does look like what I would guess a young one would be. Very cool ! This is the first of them I have photographed.
Yep Dwayne called it. The belly band is one of the most distinct field marks. Nice image.
I love these forums in many ways but especially when I need help identifying various creatures of nature. I have only been serious about shooting birds for about 6 or 8 months so you can imagine I have a heck of a lot to learn. I appreciate the comment on the image too Stephen. I was pretty pleased with the lighting on it. Anyway, thx to you both.
Hello Brent, thank you. I checked your gallery and coming from someone with so many great bird photos in his own gallery I take your comment as quite a compliment.
