I had fun yesterday photographing this juvenile Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) as it perched on rocks and hunted for prey. This image shows the juvenile Red-tailed Hawk in landing pose as it flew in from the north.

More images of this young hawk to come soon. Got to go, I’m going to see if I can relocate it this morning!
