I don't know how spectacular this shot is, but it's my first Red Shouldered Hawk photo. He was perched right next a four-lane highway so I could only stop for a second to get a shot off. Let me know what you think!

Canon Rebel XT Handheld
100-400 IS Lens at 400mm
F/5.6
1/200 Shutter
ISO 200

I love these hawks but they really like powerlines for perches so you were fortunate to find this one in a tree.
