    Nice catch, Ric. Looks like he might have a mouse there.

    Thanks, Joel.:D

    No mouse...just huge lunch-hooks.

    I like the light passing through the tail feathers and the good look at the underside plumage.

    I too like how the light comes through the feathers. One landed on my backyard fence the other day...no camera with me :cry

    Splendid!
    One of the best redtail shots I've seen.

    Take the scenic route. Life is too short to do otherwise.

    What a great shot demonstrating the double layered wing. Almost looks like two birds merged together. On my monitor I see a light halo around the entire perimeter. Perhaps a hint of oversharpening. Clear blue skies and a great pose Ric, well done.

    Excellent capture Ric, the eye really stand out well.

    I'm not a big fan of under belly captures. Next time have the hawk fly lower so that you can get a better angle on it.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
