Bird of Prey

Finally spotted a hawk close enough to actually get his picture - without a dozen limbs in his face. Think he's a red-tailed version. Was nice to have a blue sky background for a change.

great capture, it is so hard to get good clear shots in the wild, I have that problem of limbs or leaves with the koalas! fav

I smile when I think of how excited you must have been when you discovered this spectacular scene. The pretty blue sky really is nice. And look at those talons. Yeesh, he (or she) means business!

He's perched in the perfect place for his portrait. I've been hoping that a hawk might pose for me for my brown theme.
