This is one of the juvenile Red-tailed Hawks that like to hang around my feeders. He can't seem to quite figure out what that big lens is....

Wish I had feeder birds like this, Charlie! Great image. Looks like a wannabe Burrowing Owl.

Charlie,

What a wonderful pose, perhaps a little NR on BG and a slight reduction in blue, but it could be my monitor

Too funny! Certainly trying to figure out something. Not sure what!! Nice frame.

Standing on one leg and head cocked a bit almost looks like he is trying to sleep or was sleeping just prior. Well relaxed if nothing else.The only thing I might do is reduce the blue, Charlie. I see a bit in the wood perch, but more noticeable in the beak area and eye socket. Otherwise, another nice capture overall.

Great pose,if mine I would probably blur background for less distraction, other that super shot, have an eagle with same head position, well done!!!
