The Red Tail Hawk

Fierce defenders of their chicks, taking pictures of the nest and the chicks can be dangerous. When mama looks you straight in the eye you better back off because she will let you know when your to close. I never tire of watchin them soar. The Red Tail is a magnificent animal and I never tire of trying for that perfect image that defines their most impressive traits.
