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!

Hi Mia, I lost count of how many times I checked your site for today’s photo – it was well worth every click! Good luck finding the hawk again.
Hi Kim! I did relocate the hawk and took some more images of it yesterday. It is a fun bird to photograph.
