Up on the Roof

This juvenile Red Tailed Hawk lives in our neighborhood. Here he is perched atop the red barn, probably in search of a tasty mouse. He let me get quite close -- the young ones don't know enough to be wary. Best viewed large.

Great shot!

He is beautiful! You're right they don't let you get close - he'll learn, but how fun to find him before he's been educated! Great shot - wonderful detail.
