Red Tailed Hawk close encounter

So this is the same hawk that I keep running into. He was eating worms off the sidewalk when I spotted him. He flew up into a tree and perched for me on a limb that was about 5 feet above the ground. I think he was posing for me.

Let me know what you think.

I think he looks embarrassed that you caught him eating worms!

Nice character pose!

Very nice!

Very nice- have anyshots with it's tail feathers included?

Not really, both limbs that he perched on were quite large. It's a juvenile though, I've got tailfeather shots when he was on the ground if you want to see that?? Let me know!

I asked knowing that juveniles don't have that coppery red yet but by nature of it being a red tail hawk you can't help but look for the tail feathers.

Yeah...they are still beautiful! If this guy doesn't find another territory when he reaches adulthood I'll most definitely have some shots of his tail feathers though. I run into him all the time.
