Watching for the Small Fry

Same road again - and still no cars coming, so I was able to lean over and shoot out the car window on the passenger side. Knew he wouldn't go for me opening the door! What kind of hawk did I find? - don't have Bill to inform me!

Jeff took a look at it (he's the Birds of Prey expert in our family) and said the red on the tail makes it a Red Tail. Streaking on the breast is another feature they have. So it looks like the votes are all in for the Red Tailed Hawk! Great shot!
