Close-ups of a Red-tailed Hawk
.
After posting my Osprey close-ups, I remembered another recent close encounter with a different raptor I’d not shared.
Early March I came up on this Red-tailed Hawk perched alongside the country back road I was traveling, looking gorgeous. I was already going slow, and easily angled my car to photograph it from my car window.

By the looks I was receiving, I knew I was not invited for a photo shoot and could see the hawk positioning to take flight.
