Backyard Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis)

We spotted a female northern harrier behind our home, so I ran downstairs, grabbed my camera and raced outside. The harrier was long gone, but this guy made up for the miss by flying right by me.

Great capture and timing with its fingers extended. Excellent focus, colors, lighting, detail, stop-action, and eye contact. Superb work Dan!

....... grrrr.... know how you felt Dan, happens to me a lot!

However, you really did get some superb pictures of this hawk, so he more than made up for it methinks. Far from being an "Oh well he'll do!" LOL

I love the banking flight angle you captured here - very well done lad.
