So that's what this one is. I shot one up in my area & between talking to others & trying to identify by pictures, I convinced myself it must be a falcon that's been seen at that location. I use to call all hawks red tails, until I discovered that the ones I see the most were red shoulders. Very nicely done! Love your helpful info!
This is a great close up. I see a red-tail most mornings at the 91/605 merge. It's often perched on a lamp-post or a wooden post in the bit of land they decorate. I saw it today so funny you should post this - as I like to look out for it.
I like this shot!
Love watching them ride the thermals.
