Cheesequake State Park, NJ - Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis)

A lucky moment. This guy flew across a park road into the woods. I stopped to see if I could find him - he was about 20 feet from me. A quick burst of 10 shots. All were way under-exposed but was able to salvage this photo with careful post processing.
