Magnificent image, Redhawk! This is one of my favorite birds. Sometimes I get to view them capturing prey out in the pasture, from my back porch. Growing up, my Dad always called them "sparrow hawks." So very proud looking! Thanks for a grand image of a grand falcon.
Blessed, by all the new pictures, Dan
